Any ideas how to rid a pool system of about 2 quarts of diesel? At this point, I have put a few gallons of Clear Aid over the past few days that's supposed to help remove oils. We no longer see an oil film on top of the water.
I've turned water on to the pool to let it overflow out my drain for a while.
I've laid out oil absorbent pads in my spa before the overflow & the pool itself.
Today I removed the 4 cartridge filters, sprayed out, soaked in muriatic acid & clear aid, then sprayed again. You can still see the oil film as you spray. Should I just throw these cartridges away or are they salvageable? I just purchased them last August. I do have a set of filters coming tomorrow.
To how it got in there, not so funny story. Last summer my wife poured diesel into our riding mower. I drained the tank into a muriatic acid jug I had left over & sat it next to my gas & diesel jugs. Over spring break my wife just had to clean the garage. Well she put that muriatic acid jug with diesel in it on the pool chemical shelf. I'll let you guess the next part, but I was trying to lower my pH.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!
