For sparkling, clean pools, step up to Perflex.
The most effcient dirt remover known for swimming pool filtration.
Hayward Perfex D.E. filters provide the deepest, most comprehensive clean, removing microscopic dust and pollen as small as one micron – 100 times smaller than a grain of salt.
Diatomaceous earth is a porous powder with microscopic openings, that, when magnified, look like tiny sponges. Clear water can pass through these openings, but particles, as small as one to three microns, are trapped during the first pass through the media. D.E. filters have internal elements that become coated with D.E. It is this 'filter cake' that strains dirt, dust, algae, and some forms of bacteria from the water.

Similiar to sand filters, when D.E. filters become dirty, they are cleaned either by backwashing, or regenerating and draining the clogged D.E. to the 'waste' line. To restore filtration, a fresh 'charge' of D.E. is added to the filter. For sparkling, clean pools; step up to Hayward D.E. filters.
