You may swim after the stains have been removed and after you water chemistry is back to normal. Help! My stains turned black after I used this product! Your stains turned black because you have copper stains instead of iron ones. Please use our Copper & Scale stuff. How long will the treatment take? Generally, if the chemistry is adjusted properly, a Stain #1 treatment should be fully reacted within 48 hours. What happens during the treatment if my dog gets into the pool? When doing a Stain #1 treatment there are no adverse conditions that would harm a pet. The reason we don't advise swimming during a Stain #1 treatment is because the Chlorine level is lower than recommended levels for swimming. When doing a #1 treatment, is it a good idea to wait for the Chlorine to come down on its own? No. This is a common mistake made especially in the warmer months. By not using After Shock Chlorine Remover, you will create a significant chlorine demand which may create an algae problem. By using After Shock you can immediately lower the chlorine level and start the treatment the same day. |
