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.
huh...i'd try using sand in the sand filter and DE in a DE filter for optimum results. A: Yes, D E can interfere with the sands ability to to it's job.
This will absolutely not work.
Of course it can, it is one of the best oil filters available. Do not use the oil for anything other than fuel in your bio-diesel vehicle. After you filter the oil you can use the diatomaceous earth in your mulch pile, it will help in the breakdown of the fibrous vegetation.
You might have too much sand in the filter. I use a diatomaceous earth. When I used too much there was leakage back through the strainer.also I found my pipe cracked inside my filter bowl and sand was seeping into the pool, removed all sand and did some home pluming replacement.very simple job to do...
Yes, many people use the food grade version of diatomaceous earth as a supplement.
yes it would because you could pour the diatomaceous-earth powder and the gravel into a cup and use a screen to when you pour the gravel cause then the gravel will nit go through and the diatomaceous-earth powder
Probably compressed Diatomaceous Earth.I use Diatomaceous Earth (food grade) for ant control
Diatomaceous Earth is great to use to prevent slugs from eating hosta. You can buy it at gardening stores or swimming pool supply stores. You can also buy it from Amazon.
Diatomaceous earth is an organic pest control that you can use to kill spiders. It is a safe and effective way to get rid of spiders and other pests.
There are many different people who have used diatomaceous earth just for those reasons. Just make sure you use the food grade version for diatomaceous earth.
Food grade diatomaceous earth is used for several things. One can use it as a anticaking agent or insecticide when storaging grains. It can also be used to extend the shelf life of different fruits.

No. Diatom dust does not kill bedbug eggs. Diatoms are broken pieces of calcium carbonate. If a small bed bug goes through it, it might cut off part of it. As long as an insect remains perfectly still in broken glass, it will not affect the insect. An egg is perfectly still.
It depends on the size of the filter you are using. They range in size from 36sqft to 48sqft and also 60sqft. It should be labled on the filter. Then its just a matter of pounds of DE. My filter is 36sqft and I use 7 pounds. easy to measure with an old standard coffee can whch holds approx. 1 pound of DE.
