    Need to convert to chlorine

    No copper and iron was 0.1. My TA is 131, but I am not sure that I should worry about it until I finish the conversion. My FC was low after all day in the sun without any attention and I added 2 jugs of bleach (128oz) when I got home at 7pm. At 930 we were up to 14.5. Our water is the tiniest...

    Need to convert to chlorine

    Need to convert to chlorine

    Re: In middle of conversion to Chlorine from Baquacil. HELP!!! Yes, I have read a bunch of them, but I hadn't read anything about people's water turning green.

    Need to convert to chlorine

    I have a few more questions now. When you add the chlorine, as the baqua is eaten up will the colors stop or lessen? I brushed the walls and floor of the pool and around the intakes. I have plastic pool stairs that you add water in to keep them done. My husband upgraded the stairs for the kids...
