Hi there, 

Looking for advice please, we are putting 25litres of Agua  Fuerte into the pool to clean like scale, we have tried bags of salt, scrubbing with wife brush, no joy. My question is how long after we've done this and cleaned the pool can it be used to swim in again.

Thank you

there is proper descaler you can buy to clean scale from the pool.  but if you have put aqua fuerte you have probably weakened the plastic pipework so be very aware for leakages.  run the pool on recycle and then flush it and it should be ok to swim.  but not advised to use it in the pool again.

...he pool again.

Thanks Alicia, 

We were advised by a pool cleaner to use the Agua Fuerte 🤔 and as we're novices at this, we did as suggested. OK, so now that we know there is a descale we won't do that in future! Thank you for your help.

be very careful when you do use Aqua Fuerte we used it to remove tree stumps and it just ate it's way through them so it would make a mess of human flesh!

We live in Los Carrascos and looking for a company to clean the pool. Also a company who can advise on Solar panels to heat the pool and generally get more use from it. Any suggestions would be hugely welcome 😁
