The Importance of Pool Filters
The job of your pool filter is to trap dirt, sediment, and debris and stop it from re-entering the pool. Without a
pool filter, your pool would circulate these unwanted particles through your pool, leading to potential bacteria and algae growth and an unsafe swimming environment.
While
cartridge pool filters work by passing water through a pleated cartridge, and
sand pool filters trap debris through the sand particles, D.E. pool filters use diatomaceous earth (siliceous sedimentary rock made from diatoms) pool filter grids to collect dirt and debris and keep it from re-entering your pool. In fact, D.E. pool filter grids can filter your pool water down to five microns (1/10th the width of a human hair!), the lowest micron rating of any pool filter option available today.
D.E. pool filter grids are often less expensive to replace, and filter maintenance is easier, thanks to having the option for backwashing. D.E. pool filters are also the best option for removing algae, making them a great all-around choice for busy pool owners or those who want to spend less time maintaining the pool and more time enjoying it.
We carry a great selection of D.E. pool filters from brands like
Waterway,
Hayward, and
Pentair to meet your needs and exceed your expectations. Shop today to discover the right D.E. pool filter for your pool!
