Maxi-Floc

{floc}: a flocculent mass formed by the aggregation of a number of fine suspended particles

Benefits

  • Clears very cloudy pools in 12-24 hours
  • Use to remove dead algae and other floating particles
  • No messy residue

Important Notes

  • Will not work if algae are present. Super chlorinate before using Maxi-Floc
  • Prior to adding Maxi-Floc, adjust pH between 7.5 and 7.8
  • If your TDS reading is above 1500ppm, this product will not work effectively
  • Unless sufficient Maxi-Floc is used, floccing activity will be minimal (as with all Alum type preparations)
  • Set the filter to BY-PASS or RECIRCULATE, otherwise remove filter grids prior to application
  • After debris has dropped to the bottom of the pool, vacuum, clean the filter and adjust your chemicals if necessary

Sizes

  • Maxi-Floc: Quarts

Dosage

  • Maxi-Floc: One quart treats 15,000 gallons of pool water

What Causes Cloudy Water?

Clear water is free of particulate matter. When particles of dust, dirt and other matter become suspended in clear pool water the water takes on a cloudy appearance. The degree of cloudiness is determined by the amount of suspended matter. Normally, the filtration system will remove suspended matter and maintain good water clarity.

What is the difference between a clarifier and a flocculent?

A clarifier is designed to be used with a filter system, so particles coagulate in the filter. A flocculent is NOT to be used with the filtration system as the filter may clog. Flocculents are formulated to drop particles to the bottom of the pool, so they can be vacuumed away.

Is Maxi-Floc effective in salt-water pools?

When using Maxi-Floc in water containing rich concentrations of positively charged ions (salt-water pools) be aware that the overall floc size is reduced. This will result in a floc of lighter appearance and intensity than might otherwise be anticipated. Salt water pool applications may require a second treatment or a double dose.
