Achieve Crystal-Clear Water with Dicalite DE Pool Filter Powder

When it comes to pool water clarity, nothing compares to the fine filtration power of diatomaceous earth (DE). The Dicalite 10 lb DE Pool Filter Powder is NSF-certified. This means it meets high safety and performance standards for both home and commercial pools.

This high-quality DE powder coats the grids or fingers inside your filter, creating a porous yet effective barrier that captures even the smallest particles — dirt, algae, oils, and contaminants as fine as 2–5 microns. The result? Sparkling, crystal-clear water that looks inviting and feels refreshing.
