And THAT is why we're here--to help educate people about what they're actually putting into the pool--and that's why we encourage folks not to just blindly follow pool store adivce!!

We don't generally recommend flocculant--it has its place in pool care (some of them do, anyway), but if you don't have the right kind, and use it correctly, then it can create worse problems than you had to begin with. We would usually recommend it only as a last resort, and there are only particular kinds (I'm sure Pooldoc will have more to say on this).

How much acid it will take to lower pH is different in all pools--it's partially dependent on your TA, so that's a hard one to answer....
