Know before you buy
DE powder offers superior filtration by capturing particles as small as 2 to 5 microns. This level of precision removes much smaller contaminants than sand or cartridge filters, resulting in exceptionally clear water.
The standard dosage is 1 pound of DE powder for every 10 square feet of your filter's surface area. Always consult your specific filter manufacturer's manual to confirm the exact capacity of your unit.
This product is specifically engineered for DE filters. While it is highly effective, it should not be used in standard sand or cartridge filter systems, as it can clog the media or damage the equipment.
Yes, EP Minerals Celatom is derived from natural, fossilized diatoms. It is an eco-friendly, mineral-based filtration medium that does not rely on harsh synthetic chemicals to clarify your pool water.
The powder is composed of microscopic, hollow particles that act like tiny sponges. These particles create a porous structure that allows water to pass through freely while physically trapping dirt, debris, and contaminants within the powder matrix.
