How long to wait to swim after adding cya?

Thanks to all of you, we now have a beautiful blue clean clear sparkling pool!

How long do you have to wait before you can go swimming after adding cya to your skimmer?

Joyce,

The length of time can vary depending on how far you are away from the pool after adding the CYA. Just a rough guess for most pools is 3-4 seconds.

Really, you can swim immediately. The CYA will disolve slowly over the next few days....you'll never know it's in there.

Happy Swimming!
