The following foods: Milk, butter, margarine, real cheese, plain yogurt, most ice cream without gluten-containing add-ins. Vegetable oils, including canola. Plain fruits, vegetables (fresh, frozen and canned), meat, seafood, potatoes, eggs, nuts, nut butters, beans and legumes.
Alkalinity Balance, pH up, pH down, Calcium Balance, Water Stabilizer, and clarifier are all swim-safe chemicals. Wait about 20 minutes, and you are free to swim. We suggest adding algaecide, Super Erace, and shock at night, after everyone is out of the pool. It is safe to swim again the next day.
This water movement and splashing around is called aeration and is used as one method of raising a pool's pH level. Some might say you can go swimming within 15 - 20 minutes after adding any chemicals, but it's better to stay safe. A 2 hour wait is fine after adding any pool chemicals.
