Alternative (Biodegradable, 2-Micron)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiber Clear 4003DC is a biodegradable cellulose filter media that replaces Diatomaceous Earth to trap particles down to 2 microns for clearer swimming pool water.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an eco-friendlier substitute for traditional D.E. powder, Fiber Clear uses ultra-fine cellulose fibers to capture microscopic debris while remaining non-toxic and readily biodegradable. Each 3-pound container supplies a concentrated dose of filter media — one pound of Fiber Clear performs like eight pounds of D.E. — reducing handling weight and mess. This product works with sand, cartridge, and D.E. filtration systems that accept a powder or slurry treatment, letting pool owners achieve high-efficiency filtration without crystalline D.E.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow finely does Fiber Clear filter pool water?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFiber Clear filters particles as small as 2 microns, which removes very fine organic and inorganic contaminants that make water look dull. This ultra-fine capture level improves clarity and lowers visible cloudiness compared with standard sand filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCaptures particles down to 2 microns for improved optical clarity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces suspended solids that cause murkiness and dull water color.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with systems that accept powdered filter enhancers or D.E. alternatives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Fiber Clear safe for people and the environment?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes—Fiber Clear is formulated from biodegradable cellulose and contains no toxic additives, eliminating the inhalation and handling concerns associated with crystalline D.E.
