Just added borates - 2 questions

[CypressTx]

Hi all,

I just put 12 64oz boxes of Mule Team and 3 gallons of 13% muriatic acid in my 13,500 gallon non SWG pool.
Two questions:
How soon after adding is it safe to swim?
Will the borates affect clothing any differently than without borates?

TIA

You can swim at any time after it's dissolved/mixed in and no it shouldn't affect clothing differently. (But could you clarify what you mean by affect clothing?)

Like if someone were to jump in fully clothed - which happens pretty regularly - would there be any difference in effect on the clothes? I know chlorine already affects clothes, just wondering if the borates would have any additional effect.

A TFP pool with a proper FC to CYA ratio will not affect clothing and borates will not add or subtract from that.
