Additional Information

How To Use Poolife™ Flocculant

As a Filter Aid (for mild cloudiness)

  1. Add the recommended amount directly into the skimmer
  2. Let the pool filter run continuously for 8–12 hours
  3. Backwash or clean filter as needed

As a Flocculant (for heavy or persistent cloudiness)

  1. Turn off pump and allow water to settle
  2. Pre-mix the flocculant in a bucket of pool water
  3. Broadcast evenly across the pool surface
  4. Let the water sit still for 12–24 hours (no circulation)
  5. Once debris has settled, vacuum to waste — do not use filter mode

Dosage Instructions

  • Follow packaging chart based on pool size and severity of cloudiness
  • Always test and balance pH before flocculant use for optimal results

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What’s the difference between using Poolife™ Flocculant as a filter aid vs. flocculant?
A: Use it as a filter aid for light haze — just add to the skimmer and let the filter do the work. For heavier cloudiness, use as a flocculant to settle debris for manual removal.

Q: Can I swim during or after treatment?
A: Wait until flocculation and vacuuming are complete, and sanitizer and pH are back in proper range before swimming.

Q: Is it safe for vinyl or fiberglass pools?
A: Yes. Poolife™ Flocculant is compatible with all surfaces and pool types when used as directed.

Q: Will this work if I have high phosphate levels?
A: It can still help clarify water but use in combination with a phosphate remover if phosphate levels are a recurring issue.

Q: How long should I wait before vacuuming after flocculant use?
A: After applying as a flocculant, allow 12–24 hours of still water time for particles to settle completely before vacuuming to waste.

Q: Can I use this product with a cartridge filter?
A: Yes, but when using as a flocculant, ensure you vacuum to waste. As a filter aid, backwash or clean your cartridge thoroughly after use to avoid clogging.

Q: Will this remove metals or stains?
A: No. Poolife™ Flocculant is designed to clear suspended particles and cloudiness, not treat metals or surface stains. Use a stain and scale product for those issues.

Q: How often can I use flocculant in my pool?
A: It’s safe for periodic use, especially after storms, heavy pool usage or algae treatment. Avoid overuse and always follow label directions for dosing and timing.
