NOPE! Bad idea................it can cause damage to your plaster. We have one member, Dirk, who has a discolored spot on his plaster from dumping liquid CYA into his pool. I THINK his pump was on but that did not stop the damage.
Word!
Pump was running, I was walking around the pool broadcasting it in slowly, after having mixed
liquid CYA in a 5 gal bucket of water (PB's instructions). But I could feel a little still left in the original container, so I put some water in, shushed it around, and just poured that into one spot, thinking it was going to be just a little bit. Turns out what was at the bottom of the container was a big glob of undissolved CYA (much like the powder, I'd imagine), and it all came out and headed straight for the bottom. It was only a few moments to run and get my pool brush to sweep it in, but that's all it took...
:sad:
It was that experience that has taught me to:
- Run
everything by TFP
- Follow their instructions
to the letter
- Don't modify their instructions by adding in your own logic (I'm
still relearning this one!!)
- Don't mix'n'match instructions from various sources (as in: part TFP, part you, part pool store, part PB, part pool guy, part neighbor)
- Use
with great care, in or around your pool, anything that has the word "acid" in its name or ingredients!!!
OK you convinced me! Stay tuned for my username supporter badge to appear.....
