CYA directly into pool

[geh]

Not thinking, I added 3 lbs of stabilizer directly into the pool, before I remembered it shold be in a pool sock in the skimmer. Now I have CYA on the bottom of my pool. Is that ok or am I risking damaging the plaster? Any remedy for this mistake? Also, yay or nay on running my pool robot in the meantime?

You won't damage the plaster but it will most likely discolor wherever the CYA lands. I would start brushing to try and keep it in motion. Not a lot you can do at this point. Vacuum might help.

thanks. Been brushing, its spreading around now. Will vacuum now. What about the robot, will that damage it?

Brushing and vacuum seemed to take care of it. I don't think it discolored the plaster but I'll look more closely soon. Thanks.
