Flocculant Pool (Flock)

Pool Flocculant is a chemical that binds fine particles together in pool water, forming larger clumps that can be removed by vacuuming. This chemical is also known as pool flock or flocc.

Why Use a Flocculant?

Flocculants are ideal for clearing cloudy water caused by fine debris that cannot be captured by the pool filter.

How to Use Pool Flocculant

  1. Turn off the pool pump to allow particles to settle.
  2. Add the recommended amount of flocculant according to the product label.
  3. Let the water remain undisturbed for 8-12 hours to allow particles to settle to the bottom.
  4. Vacuum the settled debris to waste.

Important Tips

  • Do not use flocculant with a cartridge filter, as it may clog the filter.
  • Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for dosage and application.
