What is a D.E. (DE) pool filter?

A DE (Diatomaceous Earth) pool filter is a type of filter commonly used in swimming pools to remove impurities from the water. It uses diatomaceous earth, a fine powder made from fossilized remains of tiny aquatic organisms called diatoms, as the filtration medium.

DE filters work by passing water through grids coated with diatomaceous earth. The earth acts as a sieve, trapping particles like dirt, debris, and even microscopic contaminants. These filters are known for their excellent filtration capabilities, capturing particles as small as 2-5 microns, which is finer than what sand or cartridge filters can typically achieve.

One of the advantages of DE filters is their high efficiency in cleaning pool water. However, they require regular maintenance, including backwashing and adding fresh DE powder, to ensure optimal performance.
