The only differencearising out of the addition of the coagulant solution partially flocked or clear, isthat a very real advantage is obtained in the latter ease because of the flock formingin the raw water. Using an unflocked stock solution undoubtedly gives betterbacteria efBciency. How this is obtained is not known definitely but the flockappears to envelope considerable numbers of the bacteria, and forms, with them asa nucleus, clumped masses, a portion of which settle in the sedimentation chamber,the balance being carried over to the filter to form the schmutzdecke.
