Pool Flocculant Explained (And When You Should Use It)

[@tonyg3923]

The total hardness of my pool water is way too high (Vegas). I bought flocculant to reduce the hardness. Is that appropriate?

Flocculant does not reduce hardness

[@VehanLandman]

The only way to reduce calcium hardness is to pump water out and refill with clean water. Or check your source water for high levels of carbonate hardness.

I have been watching videos, and they say floc reduces calcium. I'm trying to figure this out, too. The pool store told me there are ways to degrees calcium without draining. Plus if you drain you are just gonna refill it with your hard water
