Loving the Natural Clarifier, but have a quick question

I've been using the AquaDoc Natural Pool Clarifier and I'm really happy with the results. The water cleared up faster than I expected and it's looking great now. It’s nice finding something that actually works and is natural too.

Just wondering if anyone knows the best time to add it. Should I use it right after shocking the pool, or is it better to wait a bit? I want to make sure I'm using it as effectively as possible.

Appreciate any tips you’ve got. Thanks!
 
It's great to hear that AquaDoc's Natural Pool Clarifier is working well for you! For maximum effectiveness, it's generally best to wait a bit after shocking the pool. Shocking your pool creates a strong chemical reaction, and it’s ideal to let the water stabilize before introducing the clarifier. If you add it immediately after shocking, the clarifier may not work as well because the pool’s chemistry is still adjusting. Typically, waiting 24 hours allows the water to return to a more balanced state, ensuring the clarifier can work its best in clearing the water.
 
I find it most effective to add clarifier right before a backwash cycle—just after the shock’s settled and the water’s returned to normal flow. This helps the flocculate pass through the filter more efficiently and clears the pool faster.
 
I wait until my chlorine stabilizes around 2–3 ppm before adding clarifier—too soon and the floc won’t bind properly. Gives me a clearer finish in one filter run
 
Really liking the Natural Clarifier, it’s been working great. Quick question though: do you use it on a regular schedule, or just when the water starts looking a little off? Trying to figure out what works best without using too much.
 
I’ve found adding clarifier when water temperature is between 75–80°F and chlorine is stable helps the flocculate form faster. Testing those two first boosts overall efficiency.
 
I used to dump in clarifier right away and wondered why my filter clogged so now I wait about an hour after shock fizz dies down, then give it a quick stir and throw in the clarifier. Water clears up way faster, and my filter thanks me!
 
I keep a little ‘clarifier note’ on my phone with my sweet spot: sunny afternoon, water’s calm, and filter’s just been cleaned. Might be overkill, but it’s worked every time for me.
 
I’ve had a similar experience with clarifiers! Last time, I added it a bit too soon and didn’t get the best results. Now I wait for the pool to settle down after shocking and it works much better. It's always good to remember that the chemical balance needs time to settle before anything else. Anyone tried using a natural clarifier for longer periods does it still stay effective?
 
I use the same clarifier and love it too! I’ve had the best results adding it a day after shocking, once the chlorine levels are back down and the water’s calm. I also make sure the filter’s freshly cleaned before I pour it in. That combo seems to help the water clear up super fast. I usually use it just once every few weeks or after heavy swimming days.
