Dicalite Diatomaceous Earth Filter Powder | 25 lbs. | DE25

Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is a completely natural substance that effectively filters contaminants in your pool, capturing particles as small as 2 to 5 microns. Comprising microscopic, coffin-shaped hollow particles resembling miniature sponges, DE forms a porous powder. This unique structure permits water to flow through freely while ensnaring particles as minute as a couple of microns, resulting in crystal-clear, filtered water returning to the pool. Derived from the fossilized remains of hard-shelled algae called diatoms, DE stands out as an all-natural, porous powder, making it the most efficient option among swimming pool filter powders available. While it is commonly used in filters specifically designed for Diatomaceous Earth powder, it also finds application in other contexts.

Note: This product comes with 25lbs. of Dicalite's Diatomaceous Earth Filter. Powder
