To use/not to use Clarifier - That is the Question

[The Raddish]

Back to the original question, and knowing that I already have the clarifier in hand from when I was pool stored, is there any adverse effect to using it if I don't overdose? Is there any reason not to use it for the purposes I described? Will it throw my perfect chemistry into whack if I use it to help with the particulate matter I can see in my pool at night?

Or, will it work as advertised and help clear my water up a bit?

Keep in mind, my pool looks crystal clear during sunlight hours. I've never seen water look so nice and pretty. I owe it all to the BBB method and stuff that I have learned on this forum.

I'd just like to look at my water at night with the pool light, and stare in total and complete awe at it's utter perfect clarity. I'll add some DE this week, but I was thinking about using some clarifier this evening if there are no otherwise adverse effects.

Around here you can get filter grade DE at many stores (Home Depot, Wal-Mart, Menard's, pool stores, aquarium supply stores, several hardware stores, and a few others that escape me at the moment).

I would check some of the big chain super stores or hardware stores in your area. On-line is always an option too.

You guys are lucky. I live in MD and no one sells pool stuff around here (except the pool store and walmart and even walmart is limited to just chemicals)
