Why are D.E. Filters rated #1

in the pool market?

D.E. filtration systems are considered to be the finest pool filter in the industry because it is capable of removing much smaller particles than either sand or cartridge filters. It is the fine powder (diatomaceous earth) that removes particles as small as 2 microns.

All earth filters have internal elements that become coated with D.E. It is this 'filter cake' that strains dirt, dust, algae and some forms of bacteria from the water.

When a D.E. filter becomes dirty, it is cleaned either by backwashing, or regenerating and draining the clogged D.E. to the 'waste' line. To restore filtration, a fresh 'charge' of D.E. is added to the filter. This typically is done once a month or more often if the pool is dirty or green.  D.E. filters will pull iron and copper out of your water without the help of any metal coagulant products!

Hands down...D.E. filters offer superior filtration compared to Cartridge or Sand filters - no questions asked!
