Just an idea to throw around with some of the other people in this chat. Over time, the dead chlorine and the dead algae can build up. These usually are well under the 20 micron that most sand filters can filter out. What opinions are there at using a flocculant to settle the debris to vacuumed out to waste and not through the filter?

That is a waste of time and money. In a residential pool there won't be any perceptible improvement.

If you want to improve filtration, you can Add DE to a Sand Filter.
