APF® Public Pools Aluminium Chloride Solution (20 kg)
Concentrated Coagulant/Flocculant for Ultra-Fine Particle Removal in Pools
Product Overview
APF® (All‑Poly Floc) is a high-performance liquid coagulant and flocculant specially formulated to work in tandem with AFM® filter media. Designed to remove particulates as small as 0.1 µm, APF® enhances filtration efficiency, reduces chemical consumption, and limits the formation of undesirable disinfection by-products such as THMs. It also helps remove phosphates naturally to prevent algae growth.
