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.

You can add clarifier after phosphate when the phosphate levels have been adequately lowered and the water is balanced. It's crucial to wait until the phosphate treatment has fully circulated and taken effect, usually 24-48 hours, before applying clarifier.

How long does it take for a clarifier to work before adding more?

A clarifier typically takes anywhere from 24 to 48 hours to show noticeable results in water clarity. It's important to allow this time for the clarifier to bind with particles and settle them before adding more. If the water remains cloudy after this period, you may consider adding more, but it's essential to follow the manufacturer's instructions for dosage and timing. Regular testing of water clarity can help determine the right timing for additional treatments.


Is bio magnet clarifier a good water conditioner?

No because it's not a "water Conditioner" It is just a positively charged flocculent. All this means is that it attracts negatively charged particles such as bacteria, dust, algae, or anything else that could cloud water. Once it has "clumped" these particles together it settles on another negatively charged substrate such as a filter pad or matrix or the tanks substrate. This effectively removes them from the water column. In the real world it attracts all the particles to stick to the aquarium walls, heater and filtration parts. It makes a big mess. A water conditioner is used to "condition" the water itself. IE removes chlorine, some also detoxify any heavy metals found in the tap waste.
