No, Separation tanks are optional. They are beneficial for saving water when back washing instead of having to replace the water you used to backwash with.

Where and how do you apply the DE to the pool filter?
Start by cleaning the entire filter. Disassemble and hose off the grids. Without this process you are just guessing as to what is already in the filter. Reassemble. The formula is usually on all DE bags . . . you have to know the square footage of the filter. This is usually stated on the name plate of the filter. Such as 36 sq.ft; 48 sq.ft.; With Hayward it is usually 4800;3600 etc. An easy to remember formula would be take the sq. ft, divide by 5, this answer will tell you how many cans or scoops of DE are dumped into the skimmer. Example: 48 div. by 5 = 10 rounded off. Note: if your filter is more than 1 yr old ~ your filter will have a residual of old DE left in the tank after each Back Wash ~ it never totally removes all the old DE and dirt during a B/W ~ this accumulates so that is why you clean out the filter tank. This formula will give you an even and uniform coating on all grids ~ the DE is what is doing the filtering not the cloth grids. k
How do I determine the size of a DE pool filter?
If you already have the filter the "nominclature plate" or mfg's spec tag is affixed to the tank body in some prominent location. The model number on some units indicates the filter size ( D4800, H4800 indicating that it is a 48 sq.ft. filter. k

Can you use diatomaceous earth in a sand filter?
This is a bad idea. Diatomaceous earth (de) will go right through a sand filter. It will end up back in the pool and then it is almost impossible to get out. Sand goes in sand filters, de goes in de filters.

Can you use Aqua Perl in your sand filter instead of sand?
You should not use Aqua Perl (Which is a Expanded Perlite Filter Media), or DE filter media in a sand filter. Here are a few reasons: 1. The Aqua Perl will come out every time you backwash your filter (it is much lighter and has a certain percentage of "floaters" (material that floats on top of water). 2. There are very small particles in both Aqua Perl and DE that may get into your swimming pool causing a "cloudy" effect. 3. Sand is much more permeable than Aqua Perl, and you will get a lower flow rate than with sand. The pressure will be higher as well. 4. A sand type filter is not designed for either Aqua Perl or DE. To use this type of filter media you need a DE type filter. Using a DE type filter will give much better results than with sand.
