Natural Chemistry - Phos Floc (4 lb)
Price
Natural Chemistry Phos Floc is the ideal way to clean very cloudy "swamp water" quickly.
Phos Floc inexpensively reduces phosphate levels to more manageable levels.
One container of Phos Floc will reduce 4000 ppb of phosphates to approximately 600 ppb in 10,000 gallons of pool water.
Phos Floc must be vacuumed to waste and removed from pool.
DIRECTIONS:
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
Adjust pool water pH to 7.2 before adding Phos Floc.
Add 4 pounds (one container) Phos Floc to a large bucket of water and mix. (Depending on size of pool and phosphate level, repeat as necessary) If pool has a recirculation (filter bypass) setting, add Phos Floc/water mixture slowly to skimmer and allow water to circulate for 1-2 hours. Must not run through the filter. Turn system off and allow Phos Floc to settle, this may take up to 12 hours. Vacuum sediment to waste (not through the filter). Or If no recirculation (filter bypass) setting is available, add 4 pounds of Phos Floc to a large bucket of water and mix. When filter system is off, broadcast this mixture over the water while walking around the pool. Allow Phos Floc to settle, this may take up to 12 hours. Vacuum sediment to waste (Not through the filter).
Important! It is necessary to further reduce phosphate level to near zero by using PhosFree.
Continue to maintain near zero phosphate levels all season long with Pool Perfect+PHOSfree for easy weekly maintenance. Monitor phosphate levels and keep between 0 - 100 ppb. Normal sanitizer levels will prevent algae growth…guaranteed!

PRODUCT FAQ'S
Yes, you should clean your filter after adding Phosfree and letting the system run continuously for 48 hours (while keeping an eye on filter pressure to ensure it doesn’t rise about 10 psi over start-up). You should also ensure that the filter is clean prior to starting a Phosfree treatment which will allow the product to work more efficiently.
While these products can assist in the stain removal process, they are also need to be used as maintenance treatments. Metals that cannot be fully removed through the filtration system (especially in sand and cartridge filters) are kept in suspension by Metal Free or Scale Free. Calcium molecules are deformed so they can’t stick together to form scale and other metals are kept in solution so they don’t settle back on a surface to cause recurrent staining.
Yes, vacuuming the pool surface thoroughly and cleaning the filter are two very important steps in the stain removal process that cannot be skipped. Cleaning the filter helps to remove some metals from the water. Others that cannot be removed are kept in suspension with maintenance products like Metal Free or Scale Free.
Yes, you can leave Spa Purge in longer than overnight. It needs a minimum of 6 hours for optimum performance so leaving it in longer is not a problem.
For liquids, the large overcap is 4oz and the small threaded cap is ½ an ounce
Phosphates come from a wide variety of sources, some of the most common being:
- Fertilizers (if you have a landscaping service, there is a good chance your pool will have issues with phosphates)
- Many stain & scale products that are sold in the swimming pool industry are phosphonic or phosphoric acid based-while these products do a great job at protecting from stain and scale, they also increase phosphate levels significantly. It is ideal to use a stain & scale control like Metal Free or Scale Free that does not contribute to unwanted phosphate contamination
- Dirt/Dust
- Rain
- Soaps (if one chooses to bathe in a pool, which we hope you do not, it will add phosphates to the water)
- Some cleaning products (ex: many tile cleaners will add to phosphate levels)
