will baking soda stain pebble tec?

[rachel🌊]

hello! just added a ton of baking soda to the pool, and our brush broke while brushing it (the pole is separate from the brush, and it is not not possible to re-attach the brush to the pole).

so, now there are now globs of baking soda sitting at the bottom of the pool. can this etch the pebble tec, should i make sure it is brushed around before leaving the house? i have a wetsuit if i need to swim down there and brush it by hand

Do you have a pool cleaner you can run?

Baking soda should not damage PebbleTec, but chemicals should never be left on the pool surface.

Why did you add a ton of baking soda?

Under normal circumstances, a non-trichlor pool should never need baking soda. How are you testing? What was your TA?

Can you borrow one from a neighbor or friend until you can get a replacement?
