Cya

[Walter2050]

Just added about 2 pounds of cya to my pool . How long do I need to wait before I clean my cartridge filters ?

If you added via the sock method in front of a return (recommended) - clean them whenever you want.
If you added directly to the skimmer (not recommended) - it can take up to a week to fully dissolve.

I added in a sock and put the sock in the skimmer and periodically I go and squeeze the sock to help it dissolve faster. It fully dissolves in the skimmer before reaching the filter .

Test 24 hrs after the addition & if you have the expected cya rise it should be fine to clean the filter.
