Flocculates can be added any time you like. And generally should not be put through the filter of the pool.When you add a floculant it is best to stop the pool altogether for a couple of days to allow the flocculate to settle along with the impurity's to the bottom of the pool. you will note a cloudy layer at the bottom of the pool when this has happened.Hand vacuum this layer carefully to waste. Do not put it through the filter. you may have to repeat the procedure until the water is entirely clear.

Why is it better to add chlorine to a swimming pool at night?

Because sunlight breaks down the chlorine. If you add it in the morning and the sun breaks it down, you may end up with little or no chlorine in your pool by late afternoon. If that happens you will have very little defense against algae all evening and night, until the next morning. If you add your chlorine in the evening then your pool is protected all evening and night, and the sun doesn't start working on it until morning. If the chlorine is low or gone by late afternoon and you dose the pool again in the evening, there is very little time when your pool is unprotected!
