    Default It's a beautiful blue cloud, what next?

    Just as it says, 8.0 cl 7.5 ph 55 cy. I just got the green to go away and am vacing like a mad man. Could I please please use a flocculent.

    Thanks,

    Mark

    This probably your best choice at present:
    GLB Pool & Spa Products 71408 1-Quart Drop n' Vac Pool Water Clarifier @ Amazon

    If you can get it locally, fine. But be VERY careful -- there are MANY similar sounding products that are NOT the same. That one is mostly PAC (polyaluminum chloride) and is the product mostly likely to successful. I have no personal experience with it, yet, but Chem_Geek does, and recommends it. Be *CAREFUL* to follow directions.

    If you have Amazon Prime, you can get it in 2 days with no shipping. OR NOT! Darn, just checked the link; Amazon is sold out and the link now goes to Amato who's OK, but not a super fast shipper. Lemme check some more MSDS sheets and see if I can find an alternative.

    I'm still looking for a plain PAC product with an known concentration, but haven't found one yet.

    I should have realized -- the warm spring is placing a heavy demand on this sort of product.

    Here are two other PAC based products, as determined by the 2 - 4 year old MSDS sheets I have -- but be very careful to look for the complete brand and product name:

    "ProTeam SUPERFLOC CLARIFIER" (not available on Amazon)

    Blue Wave Super Floc 4 x 1 qt. @ Amazon - 4 days from order to ship date

    If you want to look locally, and then ask, post EXACT brand and product names. You do NOT want to put aluminum sulfate in your pool. It's very twitchy, and if you don't get things right, you can make a mess. Also, be aware that Amazon is pretty up-front about shipping delays, but most online companies are not. One of Amazon's strengths is that, being in so many different markets, a single product line's busy season doesn't slow them down. But, with pool shipper's that's not true. Anybody in the pool business who is able to get caught up between now and July 4th, is probably on their way out of business!
