    1) I did do a bucket test.
    2) My CC reading had been at 0.5 or less for several weeks. My FC loss nightly, however, remained above 1.
    3) Here is the floc that I used: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...T6TY/poolbooks
    AG 7600 gallons, sand filter, 1.5 HP Hayward pump (1 speed), K-2006 test kit

    OK thanks. That product contains aluminum chloride (along with polymeric clarifiers) which they technically call a non-alum floc because it is technically not "alum" which is aluminum sulfate hydrate, though I would say that is misleading since both form aluminum hydroxides (several species, many of these positively charged) in the water which is the actual "floc" itself. GLB is a good brand that is reasonably priced.
