Swimmer Floc Granules 2kg (Aluminium Sulphate) – Pack of 6

Product Overview

As a retailer of hot tub spare parts, I offer these professional-grade flocculation granules designed to quickly clear cloudy water in hot tubs and spas. Each 2kg container of premium aluminium sulphate granules provides powerful water clarification, with this convenient pack of six offering excellent value for maintenance needs.

What Are Floc Granules?

Flocculation granules work by clumping together microscopic particles that cause cloudy water into larger particles that can be easily filtered out or vacuumed from the bottom of your hot tub. This aluminium sulphate-based formula is highly effective at treating water clarity issues that regular filtration can’t resolve.

Key Benefits

• Rapidly clears cloudy or dull-looking water
• Creates larger particles that are easily filtered out
• Works with existing filtration system
• Fast-acting formula shows results within hours
• Helps reduce filter strain
• Ideal for post-storm water clarity issues
• Perfect for seasonal startups
• Professional-grade treatment strength

How It Works

These specialized granules operate through a three-stage process:

1. Coagulation: The aluminium sulphate causes tiny particles to become unstable
2. Flocculation: Destabilized particles combine into larger, filterable clumps
3. Precipitation: Larger particles either sink to the bottom or get caught in the filter

Pool & Spa Chemical Guide

As a retailer of pool and spa maintenance products, I've created this comprehensive guide to help you understand and maintain proper water chemistry for your pool or spa.

Water Balance Essentials

pH Levels (7.2-7.6)

The cornerstone of water chemistry that affects all other aspects of water treatment:

• Too high: Reduces chlorine effectiveness, causes scaling
• Too low: Equipment corrosion, skin/eye irritation
• Regular testing and adjustment crucial for optimal balance

Chlorine (1-3 ppm)

Primary sanitizer for most pools and spas:

• Free chlorine maintains water safety
• Stabilized chlorine provides longer-lasting protection
• Shock treatments eliminate contaminants and chloramines

Alkalinity (80-120 ppm)

Acts as a buffer for pH levels:

• Prevents rapid pH fluctuations
• Protects against corrosion
• Helps prevent scaling issues

Specialized Treatments

Water Clarifiers

Enhances filtration efficiency:

• Coagulates tiny particles
• Improves water clarity
• Reduces filter strain

Algaecides

Prevents and treats algae growth:

• Regular prevention dosing
• Brush-free formulas available
• Compatible with all sanitizing systems

Stabilizers

Protects chlorine from UV degradation:

• Essential for outdoor pools
• Extends chlorine effectiveness
• Reduces chemical consumption

Maintenance Schedule

Daily Tasks

• Check sanitizer levels
• Run filtration system
• Remove visible debris

Weekly Tasks

• Test complete water chemistry
• Balance pH and alkalinity
• Add maintenance chemicals

Monthly Tasks

• Deep clean filters
• Check stabilizer levels
• Inspect equipment

Safety Guidelines

• Store chemicals separately
• Keep in cool, dry location
• Never mix different products
• Follow dosage instructions carefully
• Keep records of all treatments
