D.E. Filter Powder for Pools
- For Above Ground and In Ground D.E. Filter Systems
- DE filter powder is an all-natural filter media that traps micro-contaminants
- Fine powder that coats DE filter grids evenly to grab dirt particles
- High-grade DE filter powder removes particles as small as 3 microns
- Leaves water amazingly clear with less clumping or bridging between grids
- Replace DE filter powder every time you backwash your DE pool filter system
- The filter pressure gauge indicates when to backwash. When it reads 8-10 lbs higher than when D.E. was first added into filter.
- Bumping a DE filter, or performing short 10 second backwashes, will reset the DE cake and can extend filter cycles.
- Initial dosage for DE pool filter systems: 1 lb for every 5 SF of filter surface area on spring start-up, 1 lb per 10 SF after backwash.
What is D.E. made out of?

How large are D.E. particles?

Is D.E. toxic?

Commonly known as D.E., diatomaceous earth for pools is an all-natural, high-grade powder derived from tiny fossilized exoskeletons of algae-like water plants called diatoms.
