DE Filters
Diatomaceous earth (D.E.) is mined and is the fossilized exoskeletons of tiny diatoms. They are used to coat "grids" in the filter housing and act as tiny sieves allowing for the removal of debris as small as 5 microns. Once the pressure rises, the filter is backwashed just like a sand filter and then "recharged" with more D.E. powder. 
Pentair / Sta-Rite System 3 SD Series Filters 
D.E. is historically the media of choice for the designers of some of the largest and most beautiful pools in the world. It is now more practical for all backyard pools as well. System 3 brings you the proven performance of Sta-Rite’s diatomaceous earth media in the world’s safest and easiest-to-operate filter. The greater cycle times and minimized maintenance of the System 3, coupled with Sta-Rite’s superior grid system, gives you the finest D.E. filter available.
Constructed of quality durable two-piece tank housing constructed of Dura-Glas™, Industry leading glass-reinforced composite resin.  With Posi-Lok™ clamps to provide safe, easy access to tank internals.  Easily maintenaned because of the longer filter cycles and minium maintance required.  All tanks include dual drain Plugs so the side plug available for plumbing to waste, while the bottom plug will drain entire filter
