Yes, the AquaPro High Pro DE72 D.E. Filter System requires diatomaceous earth (D.E.) powder to operate properly. The D.E. powder coats the filter inside the system and helps capture fine particles and debris from your pool water. This unit requires approximately 3.5 pounds of D.E. powder for proper filtration. You can purchase D.E. powder here.
Proper maintenance of your D.E. filter system will depend on pool usage and water conditions. For additional information, you can review our guide on maintaining an AquaPro D.E. Filter here.
