Liquid CYA and Swim wait time

[Bvill16]

Hello All,

How long after adding liquid CYA do you have to wait to swim in the pool (specifically kids if it matters).

Thanks

If added slowly to the skimmer (best to do that as there will be solids in the bottle and you do not want them to settle on your liner) they can swim while you add it. It is a very mild acid.

I added in front of a return jet (which was what the bottle instructed) and slowly. I added about 3/4 way down and then diluted and shook well and repeated. I brushed very well after it? Think I am ok or should I go brush more lol (I am paranoid).

I would be very concerned of solids settling on the liner. It will stain them. Quickly.

solids the size of dust? what do you suggest I do? I brushed it, but can give it another brushing...

Best would be to vacuum the area to get them up. Brushing will not really dissolve them. Hopefully your product had no solids. Can you see any? Should be white.

There was nothing larger than specs the size of pin dots (nothing clumpy or solid) ... is that what you meant?

If any solids, even 'dust', they can stain. Up to you. If your liner is not real dark you may never see them.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help.

I just went out and checked again. No stains and no solids. Liner looks ok. I am assuming staining is within 2 hours?

Can be. Depends on lots of factors. Likely you are fine.
