Adding algaecide to the pool when the filter is on should not do any harm in fact it should mix it into the water more quickly
Suppose you could but who would want to. You possibly have added too much algaecide. Have a dirty filter. Have poor chemistry - out of balance chemically. Too many people in pool. Lack of proper filtration.
Extend filter run time to 24/7 and re read the instructions on the products that have been added to the pool. k Extend filter run time to 24/7 and re read the instructions on the products that have been added to the pool. k
Most 50% algaecides if added properly according to gallons of water in your pool allow you to swim immediatly after adding.
Salt is not a filter, it is added to pool water to allow a chlorine generator to operate.
Not necessarily. It is cloudy because you have not cleaned the filter, added the proper amounts of chemicals, filtered long enough, added too much algaecide or other chemicals, over use - too many people in the pool, not rinsing yourself off before entering the pool -- all of the above and more..... k
It's generally recommended to wait at least 24 hours after adding algaecide before vacuuming the pool. This allows the algaecide to work effectively and kill the algae before you disturb it. Vacuuming too soon may reduce the efficacy of the treatment and could stir up dead algae, making the water cloudy. Always follow the specific instructions on the algaecide product for the best results.
my pool did get milky but cleared up after 48 hours
Let me say, I have never had a problem with any treated water coming from a pool that went onto the grass or sprayed on the trees or flowers. In fact, the lawn was greener and grew faster where the water was discharged from the pool after heavy rain to lower the water level or backwashing the filter to keep the pool water clean.
Yes, you can heat a pool after using copper algaecide, but it’s advisable to wait at least 24 hours to allow the algaecide to disperse and bind properly. Heating the water immediately after application may reduce the effectiveness of the algaecide. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for optimal results.
It is probable that the glass is plastic and has been tainted by one of the chemicals that you have used in the pool. have you used any metal based algaecide for instance
Chlorine and Algaecide, and flocculate then when the algae is dead vacuum it to waste from the bottom of the pool. ( Follow the instructions on the containers)
A person can make a homemade pool algaecide by combining bleach, baking soda, and Borax. This shocks the pool and increases the pH if needed.
