Pool Mate 1-2440 Drop Down Liquid Floc, 1-Quart

This liquid flocculant binds together both organic and inorganic particles that cause water to appear cloudy. Once unwanted particles are bound together they sink to the pool floor making it easier for a pool vacuum or drain to clean them away. This product will effectively flocculate organic and inorganic articles in swimming pool water. For Cartridge Filter Pools: You must have the capability to vacuum to waste (by-pass filtration) to properly use this product as a flocculant. General Directions: Test pool water pH with a reliable test kit, adjust pH to 7.2 or greater if necessary. For highly turbid pool water, turn off pump; and dispense approximately 4 oz. of this product per 5,000 gallons of water evenly over the water surface and then immediately brush pool walls and steps. Wait 24-72 hours to allow organic and inorganic articles to settle to pool floor. Additional Directions for Cartridge Filter Pools: With the pool pump off, remove filter element and then reassemble filter canister. Prepare to manually vacuum pool to waste. Turn pool pump on and slowly vacuum pool until heavy sediment is removed. Turn pump off, reinstall filter element, and resume normal filter operation for at least 24 hours. Monitor pressure on pool filter and if pressure exceeds your normal operating pressure: turn system off, clean filter element and then resume filtering until pool is clear and free of sediment. Additional Directions for Sand and D.E. Filter Pools: With the pool pump off, prepare to manually vacuum pool to waste. Turn pool pump on and slowly vacuum pool until heavy sediment is removed then resume normal filter operation for at least 24 hours. Monitor pressure on pool filter and if pressure exceeds your normal operating pressure, backwash pool and then resume filtering until pool is clear and free of sediment. This product may be used as a part of weekly pool maintenance to prevent the pool water from becoming cloudy or turbid. Apply 1 oz. of this product per 5,000 gallo
