    When you say stabilizer, do you mean cynuric acic (spelling?). Stabilizer is a powder. As far as using only DE in a sand filter, I think its like filling your car with diesel when you should have used gasoline. You can top off a sand filter with a 1/3 cup or so of de to enhance its filtration though, but you do need sand in a sand filter.

    No, it often comes in granules that are like rock salt.
