GLB Drop n' Vac
Heavy-Duty Flocculant for Stubbornly Cloudy Pools
Even with regular filtration, shocking, and chemical balancing, pool water can sometimes remain cloudy and uninviting. That’s where GLB Drop n’ Vac comes in. This powerful liquid flocculant is specially designed to clear the toughest cloudy water by binding microscopic particles together and settling them to the bottom of the pool for easy vacuuming.
Perfect for post-storm cleanup, heavy swimmer loads, or pools struggling with fine debris and suspended particles, Drop n’ Vac is your fast-track solution to crystal-clear water.
Why Use a Flocculant Instead of a Clarifier?
While clarifiers work gradually by helping filters trap smaller particles, flocculants provide immediate, dramatic results. Drop n’ Vac pulls suspended debris out of the water and drops it to the pool floor within hours, allowing you to vacuum it away completely.
This makes it the go-to treatment when:
-
Your pool is extra cloudy after a storm, algae bloom, or heavy use.
-
Fine particles (like pollen, dust, or silt) overwhelm your filter.
-
You need fast results before an event or pool party.
Key Benefits of GLB Drop n’ Vac

How It Works
Drop n’ Vac uses advanced polymer technology to attract and bind microscopic particles suspended in pool water. As these particles clump together, they become heavy enough to sink to the bottom. Instead of recirculating endlessly through the filter, debris is concentrated in one place—ready to be vacuumed to waste.
This process dramatically improves water clarity in a matter of hours, restoring your pool to a clear, inviting state.
Best Situations for Drop n’ Vac

After Algae Treatment – Removes dead algae and fine residue that clouds water.

Application & Directions
-
Balance Water Chemistry – Ensure pH and alkalinity are within normal range.
-
Shut Off Circulation – Stop the pump so debris can settle.
-
Add Drop n’ Vac – Pour recommended dosage evenly around pool edges.
-
Allow to Work Overnight – Debris will sink to the bottom of the pool.

⚠️ Important: Flocculants require manual vacuuming to waste. Do not expect the filter alone to remove settled debris.
Cost & Value
GLB Drop n’ Vac may cost slightly more than a standard clarifier, but it delivers immediate, noticeable results when you need them most. Instead of wasting chemicals on repeated clarifier treatments or stressing your filter system, a single dose of Drop n’ Vac quickly restores clarity, saving time and effort.

FAQs About GLB Drop n’ Vac
Q: How is Drop n’ Vac different from a clarifier?
A: Clarifiers work gradually through your filter. Flocculants like Drop n’ Vac quickly bind particles and drop them to the pool floor for vacuum removal.
Q: Can I use Drop n’ Vac with cartridge filters?
A: Yes, but you’ll need to vacuum to waste. If your system doesn’t have a waste option, consult your filter’s manual before using a flocculant.
Q: How long does it take to see results?
A: Most pools clear overnight, with debris settling within 12–24 hours.
Q: Will it affect chlorine levels?
A: No. Drop n’ Vac works independently of sanitizers and won’t interfere with chlorine or bromine.
Q: How often should I use Drop n’ Vac?
A: Only as needed for severe cloudiness. For ongoing clarity maintenance, use a clarifier instead.
