    Well, alum will probably work if you tweak it, and it definitely sounds like you know enough to know how to do so. PAC is just easier and more effective. I think the critical elements are pH in the 6.5 - 7.0 range, and sufficient alkalinity to buffer it, as the floc forms. Sorry, but I don't have time to look it up now -- traffic on the site has gone crazy!
