Adding cya directly to pool by mistake

[smerls]

I am closing my pool up and I was balancing off my chemicals. I was going to add a little more calcium which I should have just left alone but I instead I added cya directly to the pool because I was distracted.

I have brushed most of it up. And don’t see much on the pool floor.

Tomorrow I was going to vacumm, make final adjustments backwash tge filter and drain below below the skimmers.

the directions say to keep the filter running for 48 hours. However I’m in Massachusetts also dealing with some wind from hurricane lee and with leaves falling in the pool I don’t want to keep it running overnight or for too long.

I don’t care about tye cya rising as I only added 4 pounds and my cya is under 50 with a 28,000 gallon pool.

My two questions if it looks like it is Al dissolved do I need to keep the pump running, will it cause any harm if I finish closing tge pool up Monday even if there is some not dissolved.

The second question will any undissolved cya left on pool floor I have plater, pebble tech do any harm.

Last question if tomorrow I need to adjust my ph and add acid will that cause any problems if there are undisolved cya floating around?

Finally shoukd I vacuum before tomorrow just to make sure I get it up.

I cannot believe I did that?

Thanks in advanced for any advice.

It is acid and you don't want it sitting on the floor. Vac the floor well and call it a day.

No.

If this is the worst thing that happened today, it was a good day. Plus. There's no better teacher like a good old fashioned foul up, and you only need to make most mistakes once. So you have that going for you, which is nice.

Sounds good I just wanted to check. Yes this is a good wake call for me to pay closer attention! Thank you!
