Our pool guy comes in the early afternoon/late morning every Monday. I check the pool PH around 5 pm, and the readings are all right on.....so I would say five hours? That's our pool, though, I would get one of the PH testing kits you can get at pretty much any pool supply store.Hope this helps!Mrs. Gregory

AnswerOur pool installer told us to wait 3 hours after adding acid to the pool. We use the liquid form, so I don't know if the wait time is different for other forms.

How soon can you swim after adding sulfuric acid?

It is recommended to wait at least 24 hours before swimming after adding sulfuric acid to a pool to allow the acid to properly disperse and reach the desired pH level. Swimming too soon can irritate the skin and eyes due to unbalanced water chemistry. Be sure to regularly test the water to ensure it is safe for swimming.

It may irritate your skin and in extreme cases cause blindness. Any pH between 6 and 9 will be okay to swim in but 7.2 is optimum. Measure it with an OTO test kit and add a little muriatic acid if the pH is too high.

How long to wait to swim after adding hydrocloric acid to pool?

Acid dilutes very fast, add it to your pool (while running to help circulation) and you should be ready to swim in about 30min. Best way to add it is by using a 5gal bucket, fill it so that you have room to add the acid then walk around the pool pouring into the edges of the pool. This will keep from damaging your plaster especially if your pool has dark plaster or pebble tech plaster. Hope you found this helpful..
