Description:
Diatomaceous Earth (DE) powder is a natural, highly effective filter media designed for use with DE pool filtration systems. Made from the fossilized remains of microscopic algae (diatoms), this ultra-fine powder forms a porous barrier on your filter grids that traps particles as small as 2-5 microns — far smaller than what sand or cartridge filters can catch.
The result? Exceptionally clean, clear, and healthy pool water.
When Should You Use Diatomaceous Earth Powder?
When starting up your pool for the season
After cleaning or backwashing your DE filter, fresh DE powder must be added to coat the filter grids and restore filtration performance.
After every backwash or filter cleaning
Backwashing your filter removes the old DE powder and trapped debris. Always replenish with the correct amount of DE to maintain effective filtration.
When your water looks cloudy or dirty
If your pool water isn’t as clear as it should be, it could be a sign that your filter needs more DE powder or a full clean and recharge.
To maintain superior filtration throughout the season
DE filters provide the highest level of filtration available. Regularly checking and adding DE ensures your pool stays crystal clear all season long.
