Description
Filbur FC-9750 DE Filter Grid, 24 in x 17-1/2 in, Center Hub Port
Restore filtration. Skip the leaks.
The Filbur FC-9750 (SKU PST-APCFGR13) is a 24 in x 17-1/2 in rectangular DE filter grid built to replace torn or collapsed grids in Anthony Apollo and Flowmaster DE filters. A reinforced center hub port keeps the grid centered on the manifold so DE powder loads evenly and water flows out the top fitting without bypass. Pair it with fresh DE powder and your filter goes right back to polishing water down to 2 to 5 microns.
Why PST Customers Pick This
Drop-In Anthony Fit
Sized to factory spec for Anthony Apollo VA-38 and VA-52 DE filters and the Flowmaster 4000, 5000, and 6000 series so the grid seats square on the manifold.
Reinforced Center Port
The center hub port locks the grid to the manifold and resists the side load that splits cheaper grids when the pump kicks on.
Polishes To 2-5 Microns
High denier yarn paired with fresh DE powder pulls fine debris, pollen, and dead algae the cartridge stage misses.
Universal Cross Reference
Replaces Unicel FG-2417, Pleatco PAN-17, and Anthony OEM 17565 / V34-129, so it covers most 24 in rectangular DE grid call-outs.
Even Powder Loading
Tight, flat panels let DE coat uniformly across the full surface, which keeps pressure low and stretches the run between backwashes.
Replace As A Full Set
An Anthony Apollo VA-38 takes 2 grids and a VA-52 takes 6, plus a partial. Swapping the full set at once keeps flow balanced across the manifold.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Anthony Apollo and Flowmaster filters does the FC-9750 fit?
It fits Anthony Apollo VA-32, VA-38, VA-52, and VA-52-2 in DE filters and the Flowmaster 4000, 5000, and 6000 series. VA-32 takes 1 grid, VA-38 takes 2, and the VA-52 family takes 6 full grids plus a partial. Always replace the full set so DE loads evenly.
What part numbers does the FC-9750 replace?
It cross references to Anthony OEM 17565 and V34-129, Unicel FG-2417, and Pleatco PAN-17. If your old grid is stamped with any of those, the FC-9750 drops right in.
What is the difference between a center hub port and a side port grid?
The FC-9750 has a center hub port, which mates to the center stem of an Anthony manifold and seals against the top plate. Side port grids will not seal on an Anthony tank, so confirm your manifold uses a center stem before ordering.
Do I have to replace all the grids at once?
We recommend it. Mixing a new grid with old, partially torn grids unbalances flow across the manifold and the new grid takes most of the load. Replacing the full set at once protects your investment and keeps backwash intervals consistent.
Can I install this grid myself?
Yes. Shut off the pump, relieve pressure at the air bleed, remove the filter clamp, lift the manifold, slide off the old grids, drop in the new FC-9750 set, and reassemble. Recharge with the DE quantity called out in your owner's manual. No special tools required.
