| Accidental backwashed filter cleaner into the pool. How to clean that up and neutralize the acid ! |
I would vacuum up any residue as soon as possible. See I have faces the problem a month back and then after consulting I followed the necessary precautionary workout…Here’s the way that they told me to follow: You may be able to do this to waste... just dispose of it as you would have when you emptied the filter tank... be careful of any plants around, etc. Perhaps you could run your discharge hose into a big rubbermaid garbage can, or something like that... The amount of acid used for filter cleaning should not be a real problem unless it sits somewhere in the pool for a while. It should be so diluted from being circulated into the pool water that the pH change may be neglible. Wait an hour or two (after cleaning up any residue and with the pump circulating and check your pH.) It may be ok, depending on how much cleaner you used, and how much water the pool holds. You may need to adjust it a bit. Depends on where your pH and total alkalinity were to begin with. (A gallon of muriatic acid in a 30,000 gallon pool may not make a huge difference, for example - especially if your total alkalinity is in the proper range... it will make a more noticeable difference in a smaller pool, obviously.) Then you can adjust your pH as necessary.
