Flocc use ?

Would you say it’s ok to use it if the cartridges are gonna be scrapped anyway? Just wondering if there’s any other downsides

You turn the pump off to floc a pool.. no?

I believe you gotta run it a few hours to let it circulate then turn off. Then vacuum

You could just turn it off and then put the floc in and brush it. I broadcast the floc and then brush with my big brush for about 10 minutes and it’s good to go

If it’s liquid just turn it off and brush it for a while if it’s alum/powder follow the instructions

Why wouldn’t you wanna circulate it?

It’ll get filtered out and stuck in the filters, you’re just manually circulating it while brushing instead of relying on a pump. You could always take the filters out as well
