How long does it take?

12-24 hours typically. Run filtration continuously and backwash when pressure rises.

25 ml per m³ for routine; 50 ml per m³ for haze recovery. Pre-dilute before pouring.

Does it remove algae?

Algae particles yes once dead, but algaecide and shock are needed to kill living algae first.

Cartridge or sand filter?

Both. Cartridge filters benefit most because their cloth catches finer particles after coagulation.

Is it the same as flocculant?

No. Clarifier keeps particles in circulation for filter capture; flocculant drops them to the floor for vacuuming. Different jobs.

What is the active ingredient?

Polyaluminium chloride (PAC) at 8-10% w/w aluminium oxide.

Does it consume chlorine?

No. PAC is a coagulant, not a sanitiser; chlorine bank is unaffected.

Slightly acidic; expect pH to drop 0.05-0.1 per standard dose. Recheck before next pH adjustment.

Re-dose; check filter pressure and backwash; verify pH 7.2-7.6.

Filter pressure too high?

Backwash sand or rinse cartridge; this is normal after coagulation.

Clarifier vs flocculant?

Clarifier suspends bound particles for the filter; flocculant drops them to vacuum. Clarifier for routine clarity, flocculant for emergency clear-down.

Clarifier vs super clarifying tablets?

Liquid clarifier is per-dose; tablets give a slow weekly cartridge feed. Liquid for active recovery, tablets for routine prevention.
