Emaux Galaxy IDE D.E. Filter

Micron-level filtration for clearer water than a sand filter

The Emaux Galaxy IDE uses diatomaceous earth (D.E.) or perlite powder to coat its filter grids, forming a fine, porous layer that traps dust, pollen, oils and microparticles a sand filter lets through. It runs at lower pressure, so your pump works less and uses less energy. Available in four sizes: IDE36, IDE48, IDE60 and IDE72.

Why pools that need the clearest water choose D.E.

Each filter type captures particles of a different size. The figures below are typical industry reference ranges; a lower number means finer filtration.

Sand filter20-40 microns
 
Cartridge filter10-15 microns
 
Galaxy IDE D.E. filter3-5 microns
 

Approximate values; results depend on water condition, filter media and maintenance.

Resort-grade clarity

The powder coating forms a fine filter layer that captures dust, pollen, oils and even some pathogens for sparkling water.

Lower energy use

Operates at lower pressure than other filter types, so the pump works less and running costs drop over time.

D.E. or perlite

Use whichever media suits you. Recommended charge for each model is listed in the spec table.

Easy to service

Weatherproof rounded top, 3-in-1 heavy-duty clamp for fast opening, and a large 1.5" drain.

Choose the right size for your pool

Suggested pool volumes are calculated from each filter's maximum flow rate at a 6-hour turnover (commercial) and 8-hour turnover (residential). Pick a pump whose flow does not exceed the filter's maximum. Our team will size it for you at no cost. Use either D.E. or perlite, and add a fresh charge after every backwash.

Who it is for

Homes and pool villas

Owners who want exceptionally clear water and lower pump running costs.

Hotels and resorts

Pools where appearance matters and water must stay clear under heavy bather load.

Commercial pools and spas

Condominium, fitness and spa pools that need consistent water quality.

Pool contractors

New builds and upgrades from sand filters, with standard 2" connections.

Installation and start-up notes

  1. 1Place the filter on a level concrete base near the pump, leaving clearance above to lift out the lid and grids.
  2. 2Connect inlet and outlet through the 63 mm / 2" 6-way valve and route the waste/backwash line to a suitable drain.
  3. 3Run the pump on Filter and add D.E. or perlite through the skimmer using the amount in the spec table (pre-coat).
  4. 4Note the clean starting pressure after each pre-coat. When pressure rises by about 8-10 psi, backwash and recharge with fresh media.

Maintenance tips

  • Backwash by pressure reading, not by calendar, to save media and water.
  • Remove and deep-clean the grids at least once or twice a year.
  • Inspect the lid O-ring and clamp regularly; replace a dry or cracked O-ring.
  • Wear a dust mask when handling D.E. powder and dispose of spent media according to local regulations.
Emaux Galaxy IDE installation clearance

Required installation clearance

Allow at least 51 cm of side clearance for the valve and service access, and the top clearance shown below so the lid and grid assembly can be lifted out for cleaning. Check your equipment-room height before ordering.

Frequently asked questions

How is a D.E. filter different from a sand filter?+
A sand filter uses filter sand and typically captures particles down to about 20-40 microns. A D.E. filter coats its grids with diatomaceous earth or perlite and filters down to roughly 3-5 microns, giving clearer water at lower operating pressure.
How often do I add D.E. powder?+
Add a fresh charge after every backwash, using the recommended amount for your model. For example, the IDE48 takes about 2.7 kg of D.E. or 2.0 kg of perlite per charge.
Can I use perlite instead of D.E.?+
Yes. The Galaxy IDE works with both D.E. and perlite. Perlite needs less media by weight; see the recommended amounts in the spec table.
Which model suits my pool size?+
As an estimate at an 8-hour turnover, the IDE36 suits about 129 m³, IDE48 about 172 m³, IDE60 about 215 m³ and IDE72 about 258 m³. Match the filter to your pump as well; send us your pool size and pump model for an exact recommendation.
Can I replace my sand filter with a D.E. filter?+
In most cases, yes, thanks to the standard 2" connections. Pump size, equipment-room space and the waste line should be checked first. Our technicians can assess your site.
Are replacement grids available?+
Yes. Replacement element sets IDE36-CE, IDE48-CE, IDE60-CE and IDE72-CE are available. Call 02-989-1111 or message LINE @winwinpool to check stock.
