Description
Clearflow Gel Block Flocculant 494
These gel flocculants are highly effective in removing heavy metals and nutrients like phosphorus, making them ideal for stormwater treatment, wastewater clarification, and industrial water treatment applications. Utilizing flow energy and particle dynamics, the 400 Series blocks offer a passive, self-limiting release, reducing the need for traditional dosing systems and offering a cost-effective, environmentally safe solution. Perfect for use in lakes, ponds, and streams, these blocks deliver superior turbidity reduction and improve overall water quality. Clearflow's 400 Series Gel Flocculant blocks are designed to effectively pre-treat suspended solids in water, making them easier to bind with the 300 Series blocks for enhanced water clarification.
This product causes flocculation (as part of pre-treatment). For coagulation and sinking, please see ClearFlow 360 gel.
Features & Benefits
Effective Pre-Treatment – Prepares suspended solids for easier binding with 300 Series blocks, enhancing the flocculation process.
Heavy Metal & Nutrient Removal – Reduces Phosphorus, TSS Bacteria/Viruses, Heavy metals, Neutralizes Cationic Coagulants and Flocculants
Flow Energy Activation – Releases flocculant through flow energy, reducing the need for traditional dosing systems.
Environmentally Safe – Fish and aquatic life-safe, ensuring no harm to water ecosystems.
Cost-Effective – Low capital and operational costs, with no additional energy required for operation.
Easy to Use – Ready-to-use blocks that require minimal setup and maintenance.

- Used with aeration, waterfalls or fountain equipment to control sediment in ponds and water features.
- Pumped flows using Pipe Reactors systems.
How It Works
The Clearflow Gel Flocculant blocks are designed to be suspended in flowing water, where they release flocculant through flow energy. As the water moves over the block, the flocculant is activated, helping to bind suspended solids and improve water clarity.
