Diatomaceous Earth (DE) Pool Filter Powder

Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is a completely natural filter media designed to capture contaminants as small as 2 to 5 microns, delivering exceptionally clear and sparkling pool water. Derived from fossilized hard-shelled algae called diatoms, DE forms a highly porous powder made of microscopic, sponge-like particles that allow water to pass freely while trapping even the tiniest impurities.

Superior Micron-Level Filtration

DE is widely recognized as the most efficient dirt-removing filter aid available for swimming pools. It can remove particles down to approximately 2 microns, helping reduce cloudy water and supporting overall water clarity and quality.

All-Natural & Eco-Conscious Filtration

Made from fossilized diatoms, DE is a natural, environmentally conscious filtration option. When used in properly balanced pools, it enhances filter productivity and may reduce the need for excessive chlorine and shock treatments.

Recommended Application & Dosage

• Slowly pour DE into the skimmer while the pump is running.
• Ensure an even coating on the filter grids for optimal performance.
• Use approximately 1 pound of DE per 10 square feet of filter surface area.
• Example: A 24 square foot DE filter requires 2.4 pounds of DE.
• Always consult your filter manufacturer’s guidelines for exact specifications.

For best results, maintain proper pool chemistry and operate the filtration system continuously until water clarity improves.
