Pentair identifies 25023-0160S as the replacement module for the 60 sq. ft. SMD-series filter and lists it as item 9A in the current System 3 replacement-parts chart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis component is different from the flat or curved individual grids used in many traditional D.E. filters. The System 3 SMD design uses a large modular D.E. element that provides the full filtration surface as one service assembly. If the original module is torn, damaged, permanently clogged, or no longer cleaning effectively after proper service, replacing the complete 25023-0160S element restores the correct factory filtration component.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eVerified Fitment\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSta-Rite System 3 S7MD60 Modular D.E. filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSystem 3 SMD Series applications calling for Pentair \/ Sta-Rite part 25023-0160S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlways confirm the filter model before ordering. The SMD family is available in more than one size, and the 60 sq. ft. S7MD60 uses 25023-0160S. The larger S7MD72 uses a different replacement module, part 25023-0172S. Matching the exact filter model and part number prevents ordering the wrong module.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow the System 3 Modular D.E. Element Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe S7MD60 combines a large 60 sq. ft. filtration area with diatomaceous earth media. Pentair's current catalog lists a 9 lb. D.E. charge for the complete S7MD60 filter. During operation, D.E. coats the modular element and creates the fine filtration layer that captures suspended debris from the pool or spa water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePentair designed the System 3 modular element for easier service than a conventional multi-grid assembly. For routine cleaning, the filter lid can be removed and the module hosed off in place. The balanced-flow design is intended to maintain an even D.E. cake across the module and make full use of the available filtration area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePentair \/ Sta-Rite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModular D.E. replacement element\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25023-0160S\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUPC \/ GTIN\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e022315303546\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFilter Series\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSystem 3 SMD Series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePrimary Filter Model\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eS7MD60\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFiltration Area\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60 sq. ft.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eParts Diagram Position\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eItem 9A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eD.E.
