Several people have asked what a DE filter is. A DE filter is considered by many professionals in the pool industry to be the best filters available because it is capable of removing very small particles.
Diatomaceous earth is a porous powder with microscopic openings. These particles look like small sponges when magnified. Clean water passes through the openings and particles as small as 5 micron are trapped in the media.
A DE filter has internal elements or grids that are coated with the diatomaceous earth which filters our dirt, dust algae and because of the posre size some forms of bacteria.
When DE filters become dirty, the same as a sand filter, they need to be cleaned either by backwashing or draining to waste and then regenerated with a fresh charge of DE media.
