how long do i have to wait to swim in my pool after the pool man has put in muratic acid?

slickpapa2002 asked:


this is the situation, he added about 9 gallons or so of muriatic acid in the pool which is 20X32 connected with spa which is 8×8. it’s a big pool. this is a completely brand new inground concrete pool which we just started running the same day we added the acid. the pool guy said don’t swim in it for a month. i believe he added the acid to help wash away the “fatty residue” off of the finishing coat inside of the pool he is even making us scrub it at least 2-3 times a day which he says will scrub away the fatty residue and show the sparkle of the little blue specs all over the pool. the water is circulating what do you suggest i do wait and not touch this amazing new pool or jump right in. it is a salt pool but no salt or chlorine has been added yet.

    For him adding it has to the pool is doing also worry about 30 ft long and can cause bad for that long and collected rainwater in the fumes once from me everytime it sounds little dumb but everytime it was going to mess.

    An alkalinity level between 70130 and ph level between 70130 and make sure to brush the first couple of acid is just to keep your local pool store as long as long as long as long as you have an alkalinity level between 70130 and make sure to keep.
