AquaPerl Perlite Filter Powder is a new, lightweight, direct replacement for diatomaceous earth media. A safer alternative for all D.E. filters. 1/2 lb. of Perlite is equal to 1 lb. of D.E. so you will save money using less filter media. Filters down to 3 microns. Pre-coats fast and effectively as well as reduces time spent on filter cleaning. All natural and chemically inert.

This is among the worst items I've ever purchased. The perlite does not adhere to the grids and it flows back into the pool leaving small particles floating on the water. Does it clean the water? Frankly, I don't know as it appears cloudy to me and as noted by another reviewer, it clouds it before it cleans it. My grids were cleaned before I added this product. I'm not a first time pool owner and I'm sorry I bought this product. for the size of my pool I would have had to use half the bag which is 12 lbs to meet the requirements of my system and I am unwilling to do that because of the flow back into the pool. I would not recommend this product at all. A waste of money and time.

This product is lighter and does a better job then traditional DE products. It holds up and is easier to clean off the filter elements when maintenance is required. Love this product and would recommend it over DE products.Jim H.

Originally bought this to use instead of cellulose when opening a green pool due to it being cheaper. Worked great and rinsed off the filter well when clogged up. I was going to switch back to fiber clear after the water cleared up, but the water has been so crystal clear that I decided to stick with perlite. Actually surprised that it is working so well!Cellulose works well too, but it seems like it gets caked on the filter and doesn’t quite match this stuff in getting the water really really clear.

(+): Perlite filters great in my 15K gallon pool with the ability to easily rinse and wash away during a backwash or filter tear down. It’s also lighter in weight, which makes tear down a bit easier too. I notice that my pool seems to stay more clear and the time between filter cleanings as decreased by 10-20%. Flow rate (more water flow) is also much better, with 25% increase across all pump speeds. This is especially noticeable in the jacuzzi with the force of the jets.(-): No matter what I do, the Perlite always flows into the pool when adding through the skimmer. Also, it seems to quickly cloud the water a bit upon initial recharge, but clears up within a couple hours. With DE, I’ve never had this problem. I do occasionally get the “white balls” on my glass tiles, but either I wipe them off or they dissolve with 7-10 days.
