Equipment
DE Filter
A filter that coats grids with diatomaceous earth powder, trapping debris as fine as 3 microns — best filtration, most maintenance.
DE filters give the cleanest water of any filter type but require a fresh DE charge after every backwash and produce wastewater that can't be recycled. Most Arizona builders no longer spec DE on new pools because of water-use restrictions and the homeowner workload. Still ideal for show pools and competitive swim setups.
