First...my pool:
Sand filter
Vinyl Liner
Steel wall
Concrete bottom
No water table issues
12,000 gallons
Ok...Long story made short:
Had a problem with my deck sealer. Had to remove all sealer with a soy based stripper. Some of the stripper/sealer residue ended up in pool. Fished most of it out, and vacuumed everything I could to waste.
My pool is now crystal clear, all levels are pretty much bang on according to pool store. Alkalinity was a little low...that's it...and since brought into proper range.
Problem is, pool water has a sweet smell. I think it some of that sealer stripper that's still in there. I drained half pool, refilled and the sweet smell remains.
Do I do a full drain? Can I drain and fill up right away? If not, how far can I go before I worry about liner issues? Is "sweet smell" maybe something else? Will the sweet smell go away?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks everyone!
