    I cannot answer but perhaps Pooldoc, PoolSean, Waste or Waterbear can. Meanwhile check with your builder.

    Meanwhile, my WAG (Wild-"Assisted"-Guess) is that it won't hurt your pump or filter and may well filter out, especially if the color is a suspension and not dissolved in the water.

    I would definitely leave the pump running until the pool clears!

    The 'accent' coloring will try to stain the waterline - Don't let it take a good hold, brush any areas that it accumulates!

    We're talking about a dye for concrete, if you can keep it from 'settling' on the pool surface, it should not cause a persistent problem

    Your filter should be able to take the dye out of the water.

    Please let us know how things turn out.


    [thanks for the faith in my knowledge Carl, the list was alphabetical - a little OCD??? ]

    Having done construction and service for 4 pool companies in 4 states starting in 1988, what I know about pools could fill a couple of books - what I don't know could fill libraries
