Diatomaceous Earth (DE) filters offer the highest level of filtration for crystal-clear pool water. Using a natural, porous powder made from fossilized remains of diatoms, DE filters trap the finest particles, down to 2 to 5 microns, providing exceptional water clarity that outperforms sand and cartridge filters.
DE filters are ideal for pool owners who demand pristine water quality. They deliver precise filtration, making them perfect for both residential and commercial pools that require consistent clarity and hygiene.
