When can I swim after adding chemicals to my pool?

Question

I added chlorine, stabilitzer and conditioner, and something called Shock n' Swim. How soon can I go swimming if I added it around fourty-five minutes ago (5:00) ?

Answer 1

You added Chlorine, Stabilizer (which is conditioner) and you say shock n swim... most Shock and Swim products are designed to give your pool a small rapid boost of chlorine and disspiate really fast.  Its for those people that needed to shock a pool the night before, forgot, and have a large gathering at the pool that day... Most shock n swim pool products say you can swim from anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour after use.  Just read the label.   The other products you added will not harm your pool for use, just read the label on the shock n swim.  Worst case scenario is you have to wait 12 hours like a normal chlorine shock.

Answer 2

12-15 hours is what we do!

Answer 3

The general rule after shocking your pool is 12-24hrs. You need to get a test kit so you know when your chlorine levels are safe. Shock is chlorine although shock is a verb and not a noun

Answer 4

i think it's 30 min. i can't remember. it should say on the bottle or tub...whatever shock n' swim comes in.
