My water chemistry is balanced, but the floc did not work. What else could cause this?!

I shocked and flocked and it isn't sinking 36hrd later... should I shock again on recirculate?

I've used the flocc and let it sit for 24 hours wnd vac to waste and its still very cloudy. My ph and chlorine are within range and I have a sie way test kit that I have no idea how to use for testing the other things

I shocked and then used flocculant and it still didn't work. I think the algae is not killed. What do I do now? How do I get the algae killed? I've already shocked and used baquacil algicide.

Hi, it's a great video. I got a question about the floc, please help me out. I accidently let the floc dust went into my filter for 8 hours. How can i clean the floc in my sand filter? Thank you.

I had to add a lot of PH Up to balance my pool and this has left a white cloudy substance that resists flocculant. What now ? Thanks.

Why are you showing a robot when you refer to vacuuming to waste? Once I realized I cannot vacuum to waste, I ran my robot (before seeing this) for about 3 cycles hoping to clear it up. Yeah, um, no, no good. Plus I've run my cartridge filter for a few hours too (shot right through and out the return in the pool). Same here--hot, sunny, but can't swim. Help! There's got to be a way to solve this. There's bound to be lots and lots of people who are stuck in the same situation. So ultra frustrating! Btw, I did not realize it was flocculant, just thought it was a 2-step super-shock. :(
