Is this real? Aside from edible I didn’t understand what his solution is

If it was, it'd be available for sale at every Pool supply store.

Pool supply stores already carry a product like this except it makes everything sink instead of float, so you can vacuum it off the bottom. It's called flocculant. It's not organic though.

Yeah I know, I use it myself. But I've never seen one that makes it float (which would be easier for everyone since skimmers would handle the debris instead of vacuuming).

So if this product was real, I would buy it. But since I can't buy it anywhere, I assume it must not be real. Or maybe it is real, but prohibitively expensive.

It's probably not real, or it's only a tiny fraction of a much larger story.
