First year opening pool and I can say flocking your pool is the best thing ever!!! I was so frustrated with my cloudy outcome & could not clear it. One thing though, always vaccum to waste- add water and do it twice after flocking. Great video!
if it’s vacuumed turning the pump to waste it helps- and it’s slow moving Michelle; if it stirs up while vacuuming, stop and give it about 45 minutes to resettle and start again. I hope this helps- it’s frustrating, but it will be worth it once it’s out… I also put the hose in the basket to replace water- it still stirs some but it helps with cloud/debris lift- well wishes🔆
For me, a clarifier and a phosphate remover worked better than flocc, and the filter did the work instead of all the vacuuming! Flocc does work faster though!
Totally love this video- just floc’d my pool and hesitating to say I am done vacuuming as It hit too dark and I did not get under my ladder and still see more forming on the bottom. I wanted to run on circulate and cool down the pool overnight but afraid i would stir it up again. Will continue vacuum further. 😅 tomorrow
The jet force from the pool didn’t move around the sand? That happens to me everytime I try to vacuum the waste at the bottom…once I turn the pool on the jet return moves everything around right away making it cloudy again
Initially when priming the vacuum using the water jet I have the jet pointing upward That way the flow of the water doesn't go downward and then I switch to waste. you can see at 4:04 the water is protruding upward out of the water jet
