Celatom Diatomaceous Earth Filter Powder

Diatomaceous Earth acts as a fine-mesh sieve that traps particles as small as 2 microns. This is significantly more effective than sand or cartridge systems, which generally cannot capture such microscopic debris, resulting in noticeably clearer water.

Yes. Every time you backwash your filter, you flush out the existing DE powder along with the trapped debris. You must replenish the filter with the manufacturer-recommended amount of fresh powder to ensure proper filtration.

Yes, Celatom DE powder is compatible with any DE-specific filter system, regardless of whether your pool is in-ground or above-ground. Always verify your filter's specific capacity requirements before adding the powder.

While you replenish the powder after every backwash, you should perform a thorough manual cleaning of the internal filter grids at least once per year. This removes any mineral buildup or oils that backwashing alone cannot clear.

Because this powder is highly efficient at removing micro-contaminants and organic matter, it reduces the overall load on your sanitization system. By keeping the water cleaner at a microscopic level, you may find that your pool requires fewer chemical adjustments to maintain balance.
