How Does UltraClear Flocculant Work?
Poor clarity results from suspended and colloidal materials in the pond water. Examples of suspended material are fine clay or silt particles that do not settle, free-swimming algae or other microorganisms, and tiny bits of decaying organic matter. These materials are so small that they remain suspended and do not settle to the bottom. Colloidal materials are smaller yet, and stay in suspension. Flocculant is a polymer product with the ability to clump small particles together. When these materials are clumped together by the action of Flocculant, they become larger and heavier. If you add enough of the product, the large particles will actually sink to the bottom of the pond where they can be vacuumed away. Or, with lesser product doses, the clumping is less than with a heavier dose, but still enough to allow effective removal through filtration. When the product is applied, the resulting clumps of previously suspended or colloidal material can be vacuumed from the bottom of the pond
