DE filter powder - pool time brand?

[Ky_acc]

Hey there, I am looking for a diatomaceous earth powder that I can pickup locally to charge my DE filter.

that said I came across a brand (pool time) that Home Depot carries and its in stock locally

I can’t see the ingredients list from the stock picture on the website but they did provide a safety data sheet.

could someone help me decipher this and let me know if this looks standard for DE powder? It’s says 100% DE, but then I’m confused by the 70% cristobalite and 5% quartz... is that normal for DE powder or are those additives?

thanks!!

It is all silica of one form or another.

DE can boost soluble silicate and diatoms, but I do not see any particular chemical issue with this material.
