Hi all,
Just did my first floc ever. Seemed to be a success. I left it overnight, it settled on be floor and I vacuumed to waste. However the pool remains a bit cloudy so I may try it again.
The floc I purchased seems to indicate you can run it through your sand filter and it will form a gel layer that improves filtration. I didn't do it that way, rather followed the advice of doing recirculate then vacuum to waste.
However, if I can just run through my filter and backwash its way easier to have they gunk accumulate in the filter and would save a ton of time and water.
Does anyone have experience with this specific method? I'm using Aqua Floc. Is it actually safe to run through a sand filter? If not why is the manufacturer telling me to.
