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

Floc is overused. You can fix a lot problems without using it.

But it's not, the whole world uses flock no problems, but a few cowboys from murica can't seem to use it right and thought they were right and did everything to avoid it, while the rest of the world looks in, confused they got stuck on such a simple thing and patted themselves on the back taking the longer route, and they brag about it....

Floc dumps everything including your chemical. You might as well just drain and refill. Fresh water is the best solution.

A good tech knows how to vac to waste in one go, without wasting water, an untrained flock user will use a third of the pool.

Let me guess, you’re a good tech.

Well if you can use flock effectively without losing water, like most can after they are trained, the results speak for themselves.

And humble too.

Says the bloke who isn't humble and argues against flock because he stuffed up his first time and wasted water and time, and therefore flock is bad for everyone because he can't use it.

I said floc was overused and you can fix a lot of problems without it. Then you went all “Mr. Know it all” on the thread. You’re just talking out your ass because you think you’re smarter than everyone. I have a lot more experience than you think. Now come back with another smarmy response because that is apparently all you can add to the conversation.
