Frequently Asked Questions
Is this product safe to use in a home pool where children and pets swim?
When used as directed on the label, the product is intended for standard residential pools. Keep children and pets out of the pool during treatment and until normal water chemistry is restored, as you would with any pool treatment.
Does this treatment introduce any harsh fumes or residues into the pool water?
It is a liquid flocculant that works by binding particles and sinking them to the floor. Once vacuumed to waste and water chemistry is balanced, there are no harsh residues left in the pool.
Can I use this in a pool that my dog or pet may drink from accidentally?
As with all pool treatments, prevent pets from drinking pool water during and immediately after treatment. The flocculant is worked into the pool and removed via vacuuming before normal use resumes.
Will the settled material on the floor be hazardous to my family if they walk in the pool?
Do not allow swimming until the flocculant has fully settled and the material has been vacuumed to waste. Once removed and chemistry is balanced, the pool is returned to normal safe use.
Is there a fire or chemical burn risk when handling this liquid?
The 1-quart liquid is a pool treatment, not a flammable or corrosive household chemical. Standard handling precautions apply: wear gloves if your skin is sensitive, avoid contact with eyes, and store the bottle out of reach of children.
Is this a safe choice for the pool at my family's vacation home?
Yes. It is widely used in residential pools, including vacation homes, and is supported by the Clorox Pool App for testing and dosing, which adds a layer of safety for owners who are not on-site daily.
Will this product harm my pool equipment, filter, or heater?
When used as directed, the flocculant does not harm standard pool equipment. Vacuum the settled material to waste rather than through the filter to avoid clogging, which is the standard procedure for flocculants.
Is it safe to use this product in a vinyl liner pool?
Yes. It is suitable for the standard residential pool surfaces, including vinyl liners, when used at the recommended dose.
Can I use this if I have a salt water pool at home?
Yes. The flocculant works with the standard residential pool chemistry. Confirm with the Clorox Pool App that your salt cell and water balance are appropriate before and after treatment.
Will using the multi-pack create a storage hazard in my garage or pool shed?
The pack of 6 should be stored upright in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight, as with any pool chemical. Keep the original caps sealed and store out of reach of children and pets.
How does this compare to manual scrubbing and draining a neglected pool?
Manual scrubbing is labor intensive and draining can damage pool surfaces and waste thousands of gallons of water. This flocculant offers a safer, less physically demanding alternative for the homeowner.
Is this safer than high-dose chlorine shock for clearing a green pool?
Both products have a role. Chlorine shock kills the live algae. The flocculant then safely removes the dead algae from the water. Used together, they are safer and more effective than either used alone at extreme doses.
How is this different from flocculants sold under unfamiliar store brands?
Clorox Pool&Spa is a recognized, trusted brand in residential pool care. The product is supported by the Clorox Pool App, and the multi-pack option comes from a brand with a long track record in household water treatment.
What if my child gets into the pool while the flocculant is still working?
Keep children and pets out of the pool during treatment. The flocculant is still in the process of binding particles and the pool is not in a swimmable state until vacuuming to waste and water rebalancing is complete.
Is there any residue on the pool floor my child could slip on after treatment?
The whole point of the treatment is to vacuum the settled material to waste. Once vacuumed, the floor should be clear of the residue. If a thin layer remains, a final brush and vacuum pass removes it.
What if I accidentally overdose the pool with this product?
Retest your water with the Clorox Pool App. You may need to run the pump and possibly partially dilute the pool. Contact Clorox Pool&Spa customer support for specific overdose guidance.
How do I use Clorox Pool&Spa Sink to Clear in my pool?
Test your water first, then add the recommended dose of flocculant based on your pool volume, typically with the pump running briefly to distribute it. Turn the pump off and let the water sit so the flocculant binds the particles and sinks them to the floor. Finally, slowly vacuum the settled material to waste, then resume normal pool operation.
How much Sink to Clear do I need for my pool size?
Dosing depends on your pool's gallonage. Use the Clorox Pool App to enter your pool volume and receive a specific dosage recommendation, and always follow the product label directions.
How long does it take for Sink to Clear to work?
Most pools show visible settling within a few hours of dosing, though heavily contaminated pools may take longer. The Clorox Pool App will guide you on when to begin vacuuming the settled layer to waste.
Is Sink to Clear compatible with chlorine, salt water, and bromine pools?
Yes. The flocculant is compatible with the standard residential pool sanitization systems, including chlorine, salt water, and bromine pools, when used as directed.
Is Sink to Clear compatible with the Clorox Pool App?
Yes. The Clorox Pool App supports testing, problem diagnosis, and specific dosage guidance for Sink to Clear, which simplifies the recovery process for DIY pool owners.
What is included in the pack when I order this product?
You receive a 1-quart bottle of Clorox Pool&Spa Sink to Clear flocculant liquid, or a pack of 6 bottles of the 1-quart product, depending on the variant you select. A measuring cap is included on the bottle. No additional equipment is required beyond your standard pool vacuum set to waste.
Is this product safe for all standard residential pool surfaces?
When used as directed, Sink to Clear is suitable for the standard residential pool surfaces, including plaster, vinyl liners, and fiberglass. Always follow the label and Clorox Pool App guidance to avoid overuse.
What should I do if my pool is still cloudy after using this product?
Retest your water with the Clorox Pool App. Cloudiness after treatment can be caused by an off pH, low alkalinity, or an insufficient dose for the level of contamination. Adjust water balance first, then re-dose if needed.
What is the difference between a pool flocculant and a pool clarifier?
A clarifier helps your filter capture small suspended particles over time, gradually improving clarity. A flocculant actively binds those particles into heavier masses and sinks them to the pool floor, where they are vacuumed to waste. Flocculants are faster and more effective on heavily contaminated water; clarifiers are better for routine light cloudiness.
