Greetings Everyone! I've been told by both Hayward support and P-a-P that I need to do a flocking process on my pool. P-a-P sold me a Flocculant called Drop Down. Seems pretty straightforward but I want to do this the most effective way.
P-a-P and product states to dispense 4oz for every 5000 gallons. So for the 12oz I need to dispense in my pool, what is best way to dispense it? Do I just walk around pool and do on the perimeter? Or if it needs to be distributed across the entire surface of the pool to 'absorb' evenly what is the best way to distribute 12oz evenly across a 30x15 pool?
And after I dispense, I assume I immediately should start brushing walls and steps to agitate the organic and in-organic articles so they fall to bottom?
Then let sit for 24-48 hrs with pump OFF I'm told. Then after it sits for 24-48 hrs, I'm planning to turn pump back on and vacuum to waste. I'm going to simultaneously run a garden hose of water into pool since I'll be losing water due to vacuuming to waste. Once I vacuum all visible stuff to waste, I'm going to put grids back in filter and then resume normal filtration.
Any steps or tasks I'm missing in my description above? And for those of you that have done this already, anything I should be aware of or possible issues I could run into? Any help or input is greatly appreciated!! Thanks!!
