AquaPerl Perlite Filter Media
Direct DE Replacement
NSF Certified
All-Natural
Lightweight
A lightweight, high-performance alternative to traditional swimming pool Diatomaceous Earth. It makes your maintenance routine easier by backwashing cleaner and being far easier to handle and carry.
Why You'll Love It
- Superior Clarity — Filters down to smaller microns for high-polish, sparkling water.
- Less Heavy Lifting — At half the weight of DE, a single bag is much easier to transport and pour.
- Cleaner Backwashing — Flushes out of the filter grids more completely than traditional media.
- Chemically Inert — All-natural material that won't affect your pool's chemical balance.
Best For
- Diatomaceous Earth (DE) filter systems
- Residential and commercial pools
- Faster, more efficient filter cleaning
- Reducing physical strain during refills
Quick Tips
- Pre-coat your filter by adding the media through the skimmer per manufacturer instructions.
- Use the same volume of Perlite as you would DE, but enjoy the lighter weight.
- Keep the bag sealed and stored in a dry location to prevent clumping.
- Monitor filter pressure and backwash once it rises 8-10 PSI above the clean starting point.

PRO TIP
When switching from DE to Perlite, do a thorough "deep clean" of your filter grids first. This ensures the Perlite can coat the grids evenly for maximum filtration efficiency right from the start.
Always follow label directions and safety guidance. Keep pool chemicals and accessories stored safely and out of reach of children.
