D.E. filters are the second most common filter.  There are two different types; pressure and vacuum.  Both are surface type filters, which require a fresh charge of D.E. powder after each back wash.  They utilize a series of cloth covered grids that support the D.E. filtration process.  Similar to a sand filter, the D.E. filter requires back washing.    Please select a manufacturer for a complete product list by clicking a manufacturer's name highlighted in blue or the product types we offer which is listed below each manufacturer's name.

Sand filters are the most common type of filter used in the United States as with most other countries.  It is a permanent media, depth type filter. It works by trapping dirt in the voids in the grains of sand.  The collected dirt is then cleansed from the system through back washing the filter.    Please select a manufacturer for a complete product list by clicking a manufacturer's name highlighted in blue or the product types we offer which is listed below each manufacturer's name.
