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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I prepare my pool before adding this flocculant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProper prep improves flocculation efficiency.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can I swim immediately after using this flocculant?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No. Wait until particles have settled and all debris is removed; resume swimming only after treatment and cleanup are finished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Will this harm my pool filter?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Not if used correctly: backwash or clean the filter first and vacuum slowly to avoid overloading the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Pool Mate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56829861298516,"sku":"B0CWVRX5ZH","price":92.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1063\/2652\/4244\/files\/pool-mate-front-packaging_a09b3fdb-36fe-4398-a653-239618a51232.jpg?v=1786998954","url":"https:\/\/gardenluxe.co.uk\/products\/pool-mate-pool-clarifier-granular-flocculant-2-pack-5-lb-fast-acting-easy-vacuum-cleanup","provider":"Gardenluxe Uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
