How do you rid your 12x36 above ground pool of the iron residue that has settled on the floor of the pool due to well water?

Try casting a flocculant let it settle for a couple of days and then vacuum the bottom layer of water to waste you will see the layer you want to remove on the bottom of the pool. check with your pool shop for a good brand of flocculant.

Can you swim with flocculant in the pool?

couldnt tell u without reading the bottle that the floc came in The idea of putting flocculant in the water is for the flocculant to attack to impurity's in the water and sink to the bottom of the pool, Ideally the water should not be disturbed while this is happening. After a couple of days of this you will note a cloudy area on the bottom of the pool. this should then be vacuumed to waste. You should not swim in a pool being treated with flocculant if you want the treatment to be totally effective. RB

How does a flocculating agent work?

Small colloidal particles in water, surface hydration and charged them with the stability of flocculant added after the hydrolysis of charged colloidal water, ion composition and its surrounding double layer structure of micelles. With stirring quickly after dosing the way, increasing colloidal particles and flocculants in water impurities into the micelle hydrolysis of equal opportunities and the number of collisions. impurities in the water under the action of particles in the flocculent first to lose stability, and mutual integration of larger size particles coagulation, and then precipitate in the separation facilities down or floating up. flocculant to promote the rapid spread of the water and mixed with all the process wastewater is mixed. impurities in the water particles and flocculant effect, by compressing the electrical double layer in, and wait until the mechanisms of power, loss of stability, generates The process of micro particles called floc cohesion. condensate micro-floc particles generated in the bridge material and water and stir, through the bridge and sediment adsorption and other mechanisms of netting a large floc growth process is called flocculation. Mixing Flocculation together referred to as coagulation and flocculation, coagulation process is generally carried out in the coagulation pool.
