THE BASICS - D.E. FILTERS

Diatomaceous Earth (D.E.) Filters

D.E. Filters

Filtering with D.E. filters results not only in clean water, but water that really sparkles. The secret is powdered prehistoric sponges that trap even the tiniest dirt particles. Even though particles smaller than 40 microns can’t be seen with the naked eye, large quantities of these microscopic contaminants have a very noticeable affect on water clarity. And D.E. strips them away.

D.E. filters not only filter better, they can make your life easier…if two goals are met. First is to maximize the filtration area—more filter area means much longer periods between cleanings. Second is to design a system that requires the least amount of pumping power to achieve a needed flow rate through the filter—lower pumping power means lower utility costs.

We Recommend:

Quad D.E.® and System:3® Mod D.E. filters combine the maximum filtration of a D.E. filter with the convenience and easy cleaning features of a cartridge filter. Plus, they are our Eco Select® brand choices for D.E. filters.
