So you get a call to a pool that has the following:
Size: 27k
CYA: 0
TA: 30
pH: 8.0
TC: 0
FC: 0
CH:250
Temp: 65 f - 78 f each day
The water is teal green and hazy, looks like the chlorine has recently been depleted due to still being able to see all the leaves on the bottom .
It takes the client 12 days to agree to your quote + 3 more days before you can start on it due to xmas/new years. So now you return and its now a darker green, you can only see the floor on the 3' shallow side . You remove enough leaves in it to fill 1 x 55 gallon drum.
C = Circulation is Good, C = Cleaning out all debris completed, C = Chemicals / CYA, Acid, TA, SLAM completed - Flocc'ing is a must due to all the dead algae, using powder shock and the client wanting the pool finished within 7 days.
PS. I told them I don't do yard work and they need the yard cleaned before I flocc the pool (see pics)
I have used both, and both work well, but I prefer Alum when lots of powders are used to clean a green pool. With Alum it does take 3-4 days to be ready to vacuum, which is not a problem and the water looks like its been filtered when done I am thinking of trying 2 bottles of Regal QT SUPER FLOC this time instead of powder alum, what do you think?
So what do you prefer and why? - Alum Powder vs. Liquid Floc
Price is not a factor, but here is what we pay in South Texas
10lb of Alum = $14.53
REGAL QT SUPER FLOC = $6.49
Thanks in Advance
