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.
