There will only be 2 weeks left before school begins when they fill our new Diamond Brite pool. Our boys can't wait to swim. How long do we need to wait from the time they put the Diamond Brite on the pool until we can safely swim in it? I have read the installation instructions but it doesn't really say when you can begin using it. Thank You!

I waited a week. It took that long for the pH (acid startup) to climb/return to a normal level. On day 8 I added liquid bleach, stabalizer, and some backing soda. Everything else was in the correct range.
I was also told not to use the heater or SWG for 30 days after plastering.

exactly whas Ms Said, but it should be about 3-4 days before everything is neutralized and in working order.

We swam in our father-in-laws new pool 4 days after the finish was applied. It took two days to fill and one to add the chemicals & heat up a little.
