The amount of flock needed for a pool depends on its size and the specific product you are using. Generally, one pound of flocculant can treat about 10,000 gallons of water. It's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for the best results, as some pools may require different dosages based on their condition. Always ensure proper circulation and filtration after applying the flock for optimal clarity.

How much flock do you put in a 20 foot by 40 foot pool?
The amount of flock you should use in a 20-foot by 40-foot pool typically depends on the specific product instructions, but generally, you would use about 1 pound of flock for every 10,000 gallons of water. A pool of this size holds approximately 30,000 gallons, so you would need around 3 pounds of flock. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines for optimal results.
When do you flock a pool?
You flock a pool as a last resort to clear the water. If you cant get the pools water to clear up using normal filtration then you may need to use a floculant. let the pool settle completely for a couple of days. This will cause the impurity's to settle to the bottom of the pool from where you then carefully vacuum the bottom layer of cloudy water to waste. most pool shops wil have the floculant and instructions required for this operation. Have them test your pools water before you do it though.

Can you use flock with a cartridge filter?
When you use flock you should not put it through the filter.When vacuming flock out of a pool with a sand filter you vacuum to waste. However you don't have that luxury with a cartridge filter. The ideal solution would be to put a 3 way valve between the pump and the filter and set it up so that one of the ports can be run to waste while at the same time shutting of the water to the filter.
How do you clean a pool that has flock added and a low PH balance?
Flock only works when the PH is above 8 (most pools are around 7.2 - 7.5). You have to raise the PH BEFORE you flock. I just did this very recently. My pool water had turned completely green, you couldn't see the bottom. I raised the PH (took and about 2 hours) then added the flock. Let the pump run on recirculate for 4 hours then turn it off overnight. Vacuum to waste, very slowly. This does involve topping off the water in the pool, letting everything settle down then vacuum some more. My total vacuuming time was 5 hours, but the pool was just a little cloudy when I finished, but no green water at all. It was worth the time and trouble to use the flock since I had been trying to get the green out for over a week, with no results. My algae was due to a construction project around my pool and granules from the new roofing got in the pool. The acid from the granules caused algae to grow very rapidly. That is what my pool dealer said to do and it worked great. Hope this helps.

Can you use laundry chlorine in a pool?
sure...but be careful of your pool colors fading...hehe additional notes: you can use laundry chlorine in a pool. The concentration is generally much weaker than the chlorine you can purchase intended for swimming pools, so you may need to use much more of it to get the cleaning/sanitizing effect you are looking for. Any bleach with additives that would not be recommended for a pool would not be ideal. If you are in a pinch, it would be okay to utilize this product.
