Clarifiers & Flocculants

Cloudy water is a filtration problem wearing a chemical disguise. Clarifiers coagulate fine particles so your filter can finally catch them — right choice when the pool is hazy but circulating well. Flocculants drop everything to the floor for vacuuming to waste — right choice after an algae kill or a storm, wrong choice on a cartridge filter you can't bypass. Enzyme products digest the oils and organics that cause persistent dullness. If you're not sure which situation you're in, that's exactly what our free in-store water test is for.

Clarifiers & Flocculants questions

Clarifier or flocculant for my cloudy pool?
Clarifier if the water is mildly hazy and your filter runs fine — it works over 2-3 days. Flocculant for heavy cloudiness when you can vacuum to waste — it works overnight but the debris must be vacuumed out, not filtered.
Why is my pool still cloudy after shocking?
Dead algae is fine white dust your filter struggles to catch. Run the filter 24/7, add clarifier, and expect 2-4 days. If it is not improving, bring a sample in — high calcium hardness can also cloud DFW water.
