Degreaser

[Explod3]

Room mate added degreaser to pool directly without reading instructions. Do I need to drain the pool?

What kind of degreaser? That will help us help you the best. Once thing I would do is put some pillow stuffing or a t-shirt in your skimmer to help catch it before it gets into your filter.

Bioguard strip-kwik filter cleaner. Says it removes grease and oil deposits. He put in around 10fl oz. It’s winter so the pool won’t be used for 3 months at least.

And what type of pool with what type of equipment? Pump? Filter?

Please create your signature with the details of your pool so we can give you more specific advice.

Pentair fns plus filter looks like a big egg. Its filter fins with DE in it with pentair pump

It is a surfactant. Will not hurt anything. Most likely trisodium phosphate or similar.

So I can leave it and the filter and sunlight will break it down?

How many gallons in your pool?

I would just keep an eye on your water chemistry and pH.

Only 10oz so doubt much effect.

To clean the filter grids in the future use TSP in water. A bucket of water, not the pool.
