Nothing like a nice cloudy pool for the long weekend

When they booked the no drain acid wash a few days before the long weekend I made sure that I asked how long after they finish will we be able to swim- they said they'd come in on Friday, stabilize and we could swim 4 hours after that.

Well, things didn't look too promising when the technician came in and felt the walls of the pool and there was a slime from the plaster dye coating the entire pool surface. He asked me what I thought and I liked that the color was returning to normal, but the slime was an issue. He got on the phone and spoke with the plaster foreman who told him to start bringing the chemicals back up (added Baking soda to raise the alkalinity) and they'd come back next week. He dumped in the Sodium Bicarbonate and it instantly turned the water cloudy...and it's been like that for more than 24 hours now. So no swimming for the last long weekend of the summer- bummer- I'm really not happy with the way things are going to say the least.

YUK!
