Fiber Clear 7 Lb – Advanced Cellulose Pool Filter Media
A Smarter, Safer Alternative to DE Powder
Fiber Clear 7 Lb is the eco-friendly cellulose filter media designed to outperform traditional diatomaceous earth (DE) and sand. It’s made from natural, biodegradable fibers that deliver superior water clarity without the health or disposal concerns of DE. Each bag replaces up to 25 pounds of DE, giving you a cleaner, safer pool while protecting your filter and equipment.
Whether you manage a backyard pool or a large commercial system, Fiber Clear provides a powerful yet sustainable way to filter water — leaving your pool sparkling clear and soft to the touch.
Why Pool Professionals Choose Fiber Clear
Trusted by service technicians, pool operators, and homeowners alike, Fiber Clear offers unmatched performance and easy handling. Its advanced cellulose formula coats your filter grids more evenly than DE, improving filtration and flow while capturing microscopic particles down to 2 microns.

How to Use Fiber Clear in Your Pool Filter
-
Remove old media from your filter (if replacing DE).
-
Add Fiber Clear according to manufacturer dosage: typically 1 lb per 5 sq. ft. of filter area.
-
Mix thoroughly with water or add directly through the skimmer while the pump is running.
-
Monitor filter pressure and backwash as needed — you’ll notice cleaner water and longer run times.
Pro Tip: Fiber Clear may require less frequent backwashing than DE. Track your pressure gauge to learn your pool’s new baseline.
Performance You Can See and Feel
Fiber Clear’s natural cellulose fibers trap oils, dirt, and debris that other filter media miss — giving your pool that crisp, “diamond sparkle” look. Swimmers will notice softer-feeling water and less eye or skin irritation compared to DE-treated systems.
