Pool Mate Pool Clarifier Granular Flocculant — 2-Pack 5 lb | Fast-Acting, Easy Vacuum Cleanup

Pool Mate 5-Pounds 2-Pack Premium Granular Flocculant is a fast-acting pool clarifier that gathers suspended particles into removable clumps, letting them settle to the bottom for easy vacuuming.

If your pool looks cloudy, turbid, or slightly discolored, fine solids and organic debris are likely suspended in the water. This granular flocculant is formulated to bind tiny particles—both organic and inorganic—into larger aggregates so they fall out of suspension. After treatment you remove the settled debris by vacuuming or sweeping it into the drain, and then return your pool to normal circulation. Follow pH and filter prep instructions to maximize performance and avoid stressing equipment.

How do I prepare my pool before adding this flocculant?

Proper prep improves flocculation efficiency. Clean or backwash your filter, check and adjust pH to the recommended level, and stop the pump before application as instructed.

• Backwash or clean the filter so it can handle settling debris later.
• Test pH and raise it to at least 7.8 for optimal floc binding.
• Turn the pool pump and filter off before broadcasting the product.
• Measure product at 1 pound per 5,000 gallons for accurate dosing.

What happens after I add Pool Mate flocculant to the water?

The granules disperse and chemically bind suspended solids into heavier clumps that sink to the pool floor. Once settled, the debris is removed by slow vacuuming or sweeping into the drain, and normal filtration can be resumed when cleanup is complete.

• Particles aggregate and settle within hours, depending on pool conditions.
• Vacuum slowly to avoid re-suspending settled solids.
• Resume filtration after debris removal to restore clear circulation.
• Do not swim until the product has settled and debris is removed.

How much product should I use and how do I apply it?

Dose precisely to avoid waste and get predictable results. Use one pound (approximately one container measure) for every 5,000 gallons of pool water, and broadcast it evenly across the surface with the pump off.

• Rate: 1 lb per 5,000 gallons of water.
• Broadcast evenly across the entire pool surface for uniform distribution.
• Allow particles to settle before vacuuming; timing depends on pool size and conditions.
• After vacuuming, restart normal filtration and monitor clarity.

Are there tips to get the best results and protect my equipment?

Yes—maintain proper water chemistry and handle settled debris gently to protect filters and surfaces. Overuse or vacuuming too quickly can reintroduce cloudiness or overload the filtration system.

• Always confirm pH is at least 7.8 before application.
• Vacuum slowly and in short passes to collect settled material efficiently.
• Discard removed debris and backwash or clean filters afterward if needed.
• Store product in a cool, dry place and follow local disposal guidelines for containers.

Who is this for: Pool Mate Premium Granular Flocculant is made for pool owners and maintenance pros who need a reliable clarifier for cloudy pools—especially those with fine suspended particles that normal filtration can’t catch. It’s ideal for backyard pools, seasonal openings, after storms or heavy bather loads, and for anyone who prefers to vacuum debris away rather than rely solely on cartridge or DE filtration. Use this two-pack when working with medium to large pools or when you want an extra container on hand for repeat applications.
