Hi everyone, you're going to think I'm crazy but my sister accidentally poured "Cabot Problem-Solver Wood Brightener" in our pool instead of "Sustain Summer Shield Chlorine Extender" since they are both in almost the same exact bottle. OOPS! We have an above-ground pool that is a round 18' by 48" and holds approximately 7,100 gallons.
This wood-brightener is supposed to be dissovled in a 5-quart bucket of water, so needless to say it is fairly diluted in our pool. What worries us is that the main ingredient for the woodbrightener is Oxalic Acid (which we are aware some people use to get stains off of their pool liner) but because of the company's policy not to give away the exact composition of their product, we don't know the exact amount of Oxalic Acid.
Of course we would like to avoid draining the pool, especially since the water appears normal and tests normal with our "Aqua Chek Test Strips", but obviously don't want anyone to swim in the pool until we know it is safe. I will put the full ingredient list for the product below and would really appreciate it if someone could help us figure this out. Thank you!
