Accidentally added Algaecide and Sodium Bicarbonate at same time

[bgarrant]

We accidentally added Regal Algaecide 50 and Sodium Bicarbonate (Arm and Hammer Clear Balance) at same time in my 8,000 gal pool (wife added Algaecide in pool and I added Clear Balance in skimmer).

Arm & Hammer™ Clear Balance

Sodium bicarbonate	pH/alkalinity adjuster
Sodium carbonate	pH/alkalinity adjuster
Polyethylene glycol	Binder/lubricant
Corn starch	Binder
Acid blue 9 aluminum salt	Colorant
Sodium polyacrylate	Dispersant

All looks fine, but is there any worry or risk? Can we swim in it like 6 hours later if levels are OK or should I shock tomorrow to be safe? Any other advice?

Thanks in advance.

What are you trying to accomplish adding that stuff. What test did you perform to do that.

Just weekly maintenance. No issues. I add one CB puck and 2oz Algaecide each for prevention. Anything I need to worry about with the combo? All look fine.

If levels are OK I assume it is no issue to swim in pool correct?

Yes..... but we highly discourage your use of algaecides.

You don’t use them or not like the products? I just use Regal Algaecide 50. The Clear Balance is just to keep pH and Alkalinity in line. I have no algae issues.

If you're happy I'm absolutely ecstatic for you!
