    Default Calcium chloride and sodium hydrogen carbonate

    Made a mistake and added both within a couple hours, then read on the info from the pool company this should not be done. Did I do any damage to the pool?

    If it didn't cloud your pool up, you're fine.

    By the way, "sodium hydrogen carbonate" = "sodium acid carbonate" = "sodium bicarbonate" = baking soda!

    How soon would it "cloud"?

    Pretty much instantly.

    Don't raise your pH, unless you have to do so, however. And if you do have to (pH less than 7.0) do it VERY gradually, with your pump and filter running 24/7.
