How long should a person wait before they enter a just-treated pool?
After Adding Floc: It is not recommended to swim with flocculent in your pool as it will reduce its effectiveness. Swim only after the floc has settled to the bottom of the pool and been vacuumed to waste.
Liquid Chlorine: Depending on how much you have added and the size of your pool, it is generally safe to wait about 4 hours after adding liquid chlorine or until levels reach 5 ppm or lower.
How long you wait will depend on the type of treatment made. If you’ve just added liquid chlorine to the pool then you should wait about 4 hours after you’ve added it before you enter the pool again. You can also check to make sure it is 5ppm or lower before you take the plunge.
