Yes, you can use a clarifier with a sand filter. Clarifiers work by coagulating tiny particles in the water, making them larger and easier for the sand filter to capture. However, it's essential to follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding the correct dosage and compatibility with your specific sand filter system. Regular maintenance and cleaning of the filter are also important to ensure optimal performance after using clarifiers.
Your filter will tell you on the side of it how much media sand to put in it.
It could damage the internal PVC of the filter and cause sand to get in your pool.

Put the mixture in water and wait for all of the salt to dissolve. Then filter out the sand and wait for the water to evaporate in the sand/water solution to get the sand and salt separately.
If there is a film laying on the bottom of the pool it is most likely that the pool has clarifier or floculant put in it. If so let the pool settle for a day or two until all of the clarifier and contaminant has settled to the bottom then turn the filter to waste and gently vacuum the cloudy material on the bottom of the pool to waste do not put floculant through the filtration vac it to waste.
From what I gather from reading the back of the bottle of Clarifier that I use in my pool a Clarifier is a Flocculent. The clarifier contains a polymer that attracts the smaller particles floating around in the pool that are too small to be filtered through some filtration systems. As the clarifier attracts the smaller particles it becomes large enough for the filtration system to filter it out of the water thus clariying the pool water.
Yes. It will clog the filter.
