Flocculants Swimming Pool Chemical

Flocculants Swimming Pool Chemical - Substances which improve the efficiency of your sand filter. They release a coagulant to help filter sand remove fine particles which could pass through the filter and make the water cloudy. The most commonly used flocculant is aluminium sulphate

Granular flocculant (aluminium sulphate)

Forms a gel on top of your pool filter enabling the filter to remove finer particles. It is very simple to use.
Backwash the filter. Place 60 grams of aluminium sulphate for each 45 cubic metres (10,000 gallons) of pool water in the skimmer or strainer basket.
The pool filter should be run continuously for at least 48 hours and only back washed during this time if the pressure rises to the level recommended for backwashing
In the event of backwashing repeat dose
Aluminium sulphate should not be used with diatomaceous earth or cartridge filters.

Sparkle Water Clarifier Liquid Flocculant (Aliphatic Polyamine)

Flocculates the fine particles in the water making them stick together in clumps so that they can be filtered out.
If your pool goes cloudy it can be added directly to the pool to clear overnight.
It can be used in conjunction with, or instead of, aluminium sulphate.
To clear cloudy water add 250 mls per 45 cubic metres (10,000 gallons).
Dilute in a plastic bucket and distribute evenly around the pool with the filter operating.
For routine use add 60 mls per 45 cubic metres (10,000 gallons) weekly
