How long to wait to add conditioner after ph downb dry acid ?

[Adriana131]

Hello, and thank you
I just took my water to test today and they told me my ph was high and 0 chorine, so I should add dry acid, then conditioner and then shock. So far I have added ph down and it has 2 tabs in the floater however I don't know when it's safe to add the conditioner? And after that how long should I wait to shock?
Confuseeed!!:/
Thank you

Welcome to TFP, good to have you here

You can add conditioner 24 hrs after adding dry acid.

You'll get the most from this site by following Trouble Free Pool Care (TFPC). I enjoyed this primer thread when I started out: TFPC for Beginners

Adrian,

We are a little different than most pool websites as we would rather decide for ourselves what to add to our pools, rather than being told by the Pool $tore what to add to our pools.

Most of us test our own pool water and then use the Pool Math (link a the top of this page) to determine what needs to happen for us to have a clean, sanitized, and crystal clear pool.

Most of us do not use "tabs" nor do we have to "shock" our pools on a routine basis.

It all starts with testing your own water with an accurate test kit. Look around this site and read this... https://www.troublefreepool.com/content/122-what-is-tfpc-bbb

Once you have had a chance to learn what we do to keep our pools so clean and clear, let us know if you are interested in coming over from the dark side of Pool $tore maintenance...

Thanks,

Jim R.
