Fiber Start is a cellulose fiber filtration media that replaces D.E., topcoats Sand, and precoats Cartridges
in all swimming pool and spa filters. Fiber Start is specifically, designed for seasonal pool start-ups,
initial filtering after replastering, and for pool clean-up after winds, rain, or other high particulate loading
situations.
Fiber Start is biodegradable, non-toxic, can be backwashed safely, and will not clog drains and sewers
like D.E. The use of Fiber Start will filter down to 10 microns, as a first step filtration media, allowing for
longer filtration cycles during start-up. After this initial step, follow up with Fiber Clear for polishing and
routine maintenance. The ultra-fine filtration provided by Fiber Clear will filter particles to 2 microns!
Water clarity will be noticeably improved!
Fiber Start and Fiber Clear are compatible with phosphate removers, algaecides, metals removers, and
biocides. Clarifiers are not necessary and are not recommended for use with Fiber Start or Fiber Clear.
When clarifiers or polymers are added to them, the filter may require a cleaning due to a premature
increase in filter pressure. Fiber Clear provides chemical-free clarification down to 2 microns, naturally
