D.E. filtration systems
are considered to
be the finest pool filter in the pool industry, because it is capable of removing smaller particles than either
sand or cartridge. It is a fine powder that cleans
out as small as 3 microns.
All D.E. 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.
Similar to sand filters, 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 if the pool is green ( so keep
chlorine in your pool, or better yet, use Proteam Supreme)
D.E. filters will pull out iron and copper out of your
water without the help of any Metal Coagulant products!
D.E. filters win against Cartridge and Sand filters hands down no
questions asked!
