Make Your Water Look as good as Your Backyard

Finally a filter to combine the convenience and water savings of a cartridge filter with the filtration capabilities of a Diatomaceous Earth filter. Grid-type DE filters have always had issues getting completely clean. The way they are constructed don’t allow easy cleaning of the inner cluster, unless you removed them individually from the manifold, a task that is much easier said than done.

With the DEP series filters by Hayward, all you need to do is remove the one-piece clamp from the tank, lift the element out from the filter, and start hosing it down. Just like a cartridge filter, but you are rewarded with about 10x the filtration capability.

D.E. Filters - For the Very Best in Pool Filtration

There are several different types of filtration systems available for the maintenance of your swimming pool water. There are D.E. filters, Sand filters and Cartridge filters to name the most popular filter types. However, sand filters and cartridge filters are significantly less effective than D.E. (Diatomite) in actual water purification. In addition, their run time will far surpass D.E. systems and cost you more in electricity in addition to the inferior water quality they provide your family.

D.E. Filters will give you the very best in filtration and have the ability to purify your water to levels much better than any other type of system.

As a matter of fact, DE filtration has been employed in many food and beverage applications for more than 70 years and was used specifically to filter potable water during WWII. Since then, it has been used to produce high-quality, low-cost drinking water. D.E. filtration is currently one of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) approved technologies for meeting the requirements of the Surface Water Treatment Rule (SWTR) and is most suitable for small communities.

If you already have a sand or cartridge filter, and cannot switch to a Diatomaceous Earth filter system, but you would like to attain the water clarity that a D.E. system provides, try Fiber Clear. It can be used in any type of filter, including as a substitute in existing D.E. filter systems. In sand and cartridge systems, it is used as an additive to assist in water clarity and replaced anytime the sand filter is backwashed or the cartridge filter is rinsed. We have many customers, often after tough algae bouts, where they cannot get their sand and cartridge systems to clear up the milky whitish water. Fiber Clear is a perfect product, with just a small amount of the material it will assist these filters in actually catching these dead algae husks, instead of returning them to the pool and thus clearing up your pool. You may notice that the filter needs to be cleaned out much more frequently in situations like this, but for good reason; it is clearing your pool and trapping debris and dead algae in the filter. 
We also have many customers who own D.E. filters and are in search of a cleaner and less bulky alternative to scooping pounds of D.E. in their skimmers and making white messes by their skimmers. You only need to add 1/8th the amount of Fiber Clear by volume when charging your D.E. filter. If you still have any questions, stop down at your local Brothers 3 and discuss how this great product can work with your existing filter.
