Overview

Poly Ferric Sulfate (PFS) is an inorganic coagulant used to destabilize and bind suspended particles — silt, clay, algae, and other turbidity-causing solids — into settleable flocs ahead of filtration or further treatment. This 1 kg pouch is sold as a standalone restock item for customers who have already run jar tests (with an Essentials Kit, a Full Kit, or their own testing) and know their dosing requirements.
