Floc Treatments

Causes: Mud Slides/Sand Storms

Corrective Action:
(This treatment is recommended for sand filters only.)

Ensure that your pump, filter and pool cleaner are in good working order and that the multiport valve is not leaking.
Top up your pool level.
Check and correct the pH level with HTH^® Dry Acid or HTH^® Easy Acid. With the pump on circulate/re-circulate or bypass, pour HTH^® Xtreme Flocc around the side of the pool.
Run the pump for 4 hours.
Switch the pump off at the main switch for 24 hours to allow the sediment to settle to the bottom of the pool.
After 24 hours, set the filter to ‘waste,’ restart the pump, and carefully vacuum the pool to remove all visible sediment from the floor. While doing this, remember to add water to the pool to maintain the proper water level above the weir.
Once your pool is clear, backwash and thoroughly rinse the filter.
Resume normal filtration and chlorination routine.
