On Friday night I vacuumed as many of the leaves and such as I could get and on Saturday morning at 9am I began the long awaited conversion from Baquacil to Chlorine . All testing was done with TF100 test kit .
As you will see in the pics I didn't see all the great color action nor any white stuff floating on top (no disappointment there), I am guessing due to the fact we have not put any Baquacil stuff into the pool since September of last year ...
Pic before adding any chlorine . At this point I added 728 oz of 6% Chlorine
