    Need help with cloudy spa water; use BBB in above ground poo

    Split off of this topic. JasonLion Keeping posting information. I just started a conversion last Sunday. I've been reading all of the Baqua to Chlorine forums. My water turned rust when adding shock the first couple of times. I've since switched to store bleach and have the typical pea green...
