3. DE pool
filters
DE pool filters have the ideal filtration of all the pool filter types,
they can filter or collect particles up to 3 microns. DE powder is what
actually does the filtering. The powder is added through the skimmers, that
coats the filter fabric/fine mesh covered grid. The water first passes through
the powder, then the fabric covered grid then passes through the DE and
finally, the dirt gets collected in the DE powder "cake" or coating. DE
pool filters are expensive and have a bit of higher maintenance than other
filter types, but it produces excellent results. DE means Diatomaceous Earth,
that is
the microscopic skeletons of Diatoms, an ancient sub aquatic creature. Under
the microscope, Diatoms and perlite appear to be tiny sponges. This is where
the dirt, oil, and contaminants become gathered in your filter, within the
powder.
