A clarifier is designed to be used with a filter system, so particles coagulate in the filter. A flocculent is NOT to be used with the water being passed through filtration system as the filter may clog. Flocculents are formulated to drop particles to the bottom of the pool, so they can be vacuumed away through the filter process of bypassing the filter system. Maxi-floc is used in “seriously cloudy water”, when you cannot see the pool bottom or main drain.
