What are the advantages of flocculent vs clarifier for clearing up pool water?

From what I gather from reading the back of the bottle of Clarifier that I use in my pool a Clarifier is a Flocculent. The clarifier contains a polymer that attracts the smaller particles floating around in the pool that are too small to be filtered through some filtration systems. As the clarifier attracts the smaller particles it becomes large enough for the filtration system to filter it out of the water thus clariying the pool water.

What is cloudy?
When there are clouds. :) If you are talking about cloudy pool water, it could be a number of things. Take a water sample to a retail pool store for testing. If the cloudiness remains after you balance the water, try adding a flocculent. If it still remains, try shocking the pool, then adding a flocculent again.
What should you do if your pool water is very milky and shocking makes it more milky?
I too had milky water in my pool. I also have a chocolate lab dog who loves the water. I found that with allowing the dog to swim would turn the water milky and that a "slime" would develop on my filter and in my filter housing. I can't deny the dog but I can limit the number of swims. My pool is small so it's not hard for me to fix. I change the filter or clean it real well every day for a couple of days following one of her swims. I also heavily "shock" the water at the end of the day for 2 days after her swim. If the cause of you milky water is a 4 legged friend, this has worked for me. New answer:: Ah, yuck! Do you realize the germs on a dogs body. Milky and slime more YUCK! Extend the filter run time if you insist on having a dog swim in your pool. As a pool service person, I wouldn't even put my toe in the pool under those conditions. Milky water is caused by many things but lack of filtration is one and lack of a sanitizer is another. You are subjecting yourself to a multitude of germs and bacteria. Diarrhea, e-coli are but a few found in pools. Oh, horrors of horrors! K
Cloudy pool water after shock?
Did you use a granular "shock" like HTH? Need to know about your water make up and chemistry history. Length of filtration time run. Without a knowledge of your pool all I can do is generalize. Add more 12% liq. chlorine and adjust the pH to 7.6, extend the filter run time by at least 6 more hrs. k ------------------------------------------------------- along with the above answer, if your pool isn't clearing up after shocking the correct amount, your filter is full. backwash it and continue filtering.
Difference between a oil purifier and oil clarifier?
Basically, a clarifier is attached just after the purifier in the fuel line. While the main function of a purifier is to separate the dissolved water, impurities and sludge from the fuel oil, a clarifier removes any solid foreign material that is not removed from the oil after it passes through the purifier.

What did Elya remember as his ship was clearing the harbour?
need water
You used 32 ounces of clarifier to your 30 round above ground pool for cloudiness The pool still looks cloudy what do you do?
If you are running the pump and filter for a few short hours it will never clear up no matter how much clarifier you add. Clean the filter first then run the pump for 24/7 until you can see and read a quarter at the main drain of your pool ~ or the deep end if you have no M/D. Adjust the chemicals as needed and follow allthe instructions on the clarifier bottle. Chlorine needs to be at of above3.5 to 5.0 or higher. pH at 7.6; Alkalinity at 80 - 120. k
