Hi guys
First of all i know that TFP does not recommend using flocculants so this is only my personal question and i mean no offense
While doing the maintenance of one of my client's pool,i gave her PAC (poly aluminum chloride) for flocculation and after adding it to the water she forgot to change the multi port valve of the sand filter from filter to recirculate.
And as far as i know when something like this happens the filter must be clogged up and one should change the filter media .
I should mention that the water changed to crystal clear

I should mention that the water changed to crystal clear afterward
Anyways i decided to open the filter and surprisingly watched that there was no clogging at all and filter media was quite fine.
I am wondering whether we can use flocculants as clarifiers with no damage to sand filter media.
What is your opinion?
