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?
- Diatomaceous earth consists of fossilized remains of diatoms, a type of hard-shelled algae.
How large are D.E. particles?

Is D.E. toxic?
- It is a non-toxic, but you should always wear a mask when adding to your filter.
How many times do I need to replace D.E.?

Details
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. DE powder provides outstanding DE filtration results for your pool compared to sand filters and cartridge filter systems. 25 lbs bags, shipped in sturdy boxes for storage.
