Just an update...I found the ProTeam super floc locally. I am at home today so didn't have fancy equipment. I bucket tested both granular alum and the ProTeam stuff. ProTeam made tiny, tiny flocs after about an hour, but they were having difficulty settling. Alum turned the bucket water VERY cloudy for about 10 minutes ( I panicked even though it was just a bucket, lol); when this dissipated, I could see 1/4 inch to maybe 1/2 inch flocks forming in addition to a fine precipitate. My alum bucket settled in about 90 minutes. The PAC is still struggling to settle, I am not sure if they are going to be able to do so, as they are barely visible....I may have miscalculated the dose...the instructions were vague, and of course the MSDS says "proprietary" and lists no concentration! Both products went into the bucket at 8 am.

At noon I decided to go ahead with the granular alum. I half dissolved it and dumped it into my pool. Let the filter rein in recirculate for about 2 hours. I just checked and it is settling fast!!!. I used 10 lbs of Leslies in 15k of water. pH was 6.9, alk 120 and Ca+-400. I will let you know how the PAC does overnight. Thanks for your help!!!!!!!!
