Re: Bacquacil Pool - want to convert but need help first w/m Exactly what we'll be doing. Thanks. 8-)

Re: Bacquacil Pool - want to convert but need help first w/m Thanks Leebo, makes me feel better....and Matt, will be careful; doing this w/my experienced pool guy who put the new liner in for me and we're filling it right back up w/2 hoses. My water bill for this month should be fun, but hey...

Re: Bacquacil Pool - want to convert but need help first w/m :-D No can do, but I'm trying to upload a photo of the pool in its current state - believe it or not, it's really clear. Please tell me this is a temporary result of running the filter & having added the bacqua shock on tuesday...

Re: Bacquacil Pool - want to convert but need help first w/m Thanks Dave S. - getting into pool w/rubber boots & gloves & wiping down w/bleach fast as possible - pool not very large - approx 10 x 24 - 4 ft average, but still should be plenty of work! I'm just hoping the chlorine level stays up...

Re: Bacquacil Pool - want to convert but need help first w/m in-ground alum siding, w/vinyl liner - approx 8,500 gal. Pool guy who opens every year is helping & we won't be leaving the pool empty for long - draining, wiping down & filling right up again. As to conversion, we are going with...

Re: Bacquacil Pool - want to convert but need help first w/m OK, I'm home and after consulting with my pool guy, the decision has been made to drain the pool, give everything a good scrub and refill using chlorine. Sorry there won't be dramatic pics, but I will post current disgusting pics &...

Re: Bacquacil Pool - want to convert but need help first w/m Reading..reading..& reading some more now :shock: would rather have this thing going so will run filter & add cheapest chlorine while we wait - thanks again & will have conversion post (with pics) asap :wave:

Re: Bacquacil Pool - want to convert but need help first w/m ok thanks, but in the meantime what do we do? run filter - add any bleach - etc? promise to start a conversion with photo thread as soon as we begin the process.

Re: Bacquacil Pool - want to convert but need help first w/m Hi Leebo - I'm "the wife" & I'm a quick reader (and learner) - you are right, it's chlorine conversion for us. I know next to nothing about pool care, but this site is great. Poor Jerry is heartbroken that after approx 15 yrs...

Re: Bacquacil Pool - want to convert but need help first w/m Haven't added any add'l baqua since the eve of 6/6 w/the cdx - wish I hadn't done that now :oops: Currently, one member of the team (my wife) is advocating salt water conversion, but I've got pavers around the pool & have heard salt...

Re: Bacquacil Pool - want to convert but need help first w/m Thanks Leebo & I was just looking at your conversion pics. Asa I start, I'll post pics. Think I'll do it w/out the pool drainage as the cost to refill is a bit high here in NY. Pool is vinyl liner (not even a season old) & approx...

Re: Bacquacil Pool - want to convert but need help first w/m Matt B, thanks for the info. Will keep you updated on the progress & may not drain just to see the color show! :wink: btw, this is a really helpful site - glad I found it.

Re: Bacquacil Pool - want to convert but need help first w/m Thanks Matt B. I have an 8,500 gal in-ground pool & I use a DE filter. Right now robot vacuuming pool & will sterilize after finished. Also seriously considering emptying pool, scrubbing everything down & starting up w/chlorine...

Re: Bacquacil Pool - want to convert but need help first w/m Thank you for your answer. Just to be clear, if we convert, then we don't have to go through all the steps to get rid of the mold? The conversion process will clear it up? If that's correct, that would be great! :party:
