OK, will do! I'll post again when I have all the numbers

I'll try to go out there this weekend with my fancy kit and take tests and post results for everyone's review!

Sorry, I'm at work now and my daughter lives an hour away. I feel sorry for her; she's done all sorts of tests etc., added chemicals, floc, whatever! She's jealous of my pool, which is so clear and beautiful thanks to changing from Baquacil to chlorine! I just wondered if someone would have...

Just trying to help my daughter so I don't have all her test results, but wondered if anyone here has any experience with well water and why her pool is so cloudy (white looking). It appears her chlorine level is good and ph is stable. Can anyone direct me to prior posts or info? :cry:

Hello everyone! With all the rain we've had here in Northern Indiana, I found that my pool pillow collapsed and alot of water pushed the cover almost down to the bottom of my pool. I've lost the majority of water in the pool (will the sides collapse???) I can't use the cover pump now (tried...

Great - thanks for the reply. I will probably be closing this weekend and wanted to be sure!

Nope, nothing there about the other levels. I do know how to close, clean, etc. PH, TA and CYA, that's my question.

Hello everyone! I was using Baquacil for years and converted this year. BTW, if I can do it ANYONE can do it. I had the BEST season ever; not one speck of algae this summer. It's been wonderful. OK, I know how to shock and close the pool with Baquagoo, however, now that I've been using...

Thanks for the quick reply. I just want to be prepared. Once the CC maintains at .5 or lower, then what? Further instruction page/pages please! Sorry to bother you - I'm actually at work right now!

When I add the stabilizer in a sock, do I keep testing and keep FC at 15? I don't see much regarding CYA and what steps to follow. If there are more instructions, can you direct me to the page?

OK, tested this morning at 6:30, FC 16.5, CC .5, TC 17. Just tested now at 12:10, FC 11, CC 0. It's rainy and cloudy right now. I will add bleach and test again later. BTW, my pool has been blue and clear for several days now. I just hope I can keep it this way once the conversion is over...

I did get a good test kit that was recommended. Last night at 11:30, it tested at FC 17. This morning at 8:30, FC was 13, Added the recomended amount of bleach. Waited until 11:44, bact at 1.5. Now, I'm wondering if I should add bleach at all during the day when the sun just eats it up...

I just saw your post so went back and saw how to get the pool gallon amount. I read some other posts and I'm getting so confused. I thought I have to get it up to 15ppm thenI read someones post that said FC is at 4.5 and tht was good. HUH? I have to read more!

OK, will do. I knew the ph would be high, I just wanted to try out the kit. I feel like I wasted 61 drops of the one chemical, but I just had to see how many it would take to get clear! I've used up alot of bleach - 18 - 96oz bottles so far. But apparently others have used alot too. And as...

OK, no laughing at me but here goes. Well, I did receive my test kit, yikes, lots of stuff in there. You are going to think I am crazy, but, when it says to use a heaping "scoop" of the powder, why doesn't it have a exact measure scoop? That's a very tiny scoop, so how much should I really...

Hi Positronic! I've started adding bleach and the pool is light green. No goo coming out. I will be ordering my test kit right now. I was hoping to get a good one at the pool store yesterday but no such luck. Am going to go read your posts

ok, just started. I will continue to read and post!

BTW, can I use the baqua ph decreaser/increase that I have OR do I have to get the other stuff?

I am on my way to the pool store to get backwash hose. Do you think I can get a decent test kit for now. I will be getting sand too. (I really don't know what I am doing. Can u tell?)

I'm reading and reading. Adjust ph - all I have is baqua products. Do I use something else to adjust the ph?

BTW, above ground 18 rnd pool, 4ft deep

I just opened my pool and it is dark grren and added baqua shock. Did nothing. Now I want to convert but everything sounds so confusing! I can't figure out the pooll calculator, don't know what to go buy, directions confusing. So, to begin, I need a good test kit, bleach and????? HELP

Re: How to convert a Baquacil pool to chlorine sorry - 18 round pool

I've tried to use the pool calculator and it isn't working. Want to switch to chlorine from baq have a ua and I don't know how much bleach to use. I have an 18 round pool

AnnaK, if I win that Lotto I would PAY for you to come to Indiana and give me a hand!!!! And, all the drinks would be on me, and anything else we could think of! Well, it's raining cats and dogs right now and the weekend doesn't look that good - cloudy and about 65. So, even though the pool...

You are so right, it was Rhett, my bad! But I guess I will be like both of them; don't give a Dang right now, and tomorrow is another day! Now, if I could just win the Mega Million lotto here on Friday (up to $325,000,000.00), I could just PAY people to worry about things for me. That would...

AnnaK, you are soooooooo witty!!! I am suddenly Scarlett and don't give a Dang!!!

HAHAHAHA - OK, I will just smile at it!!! As a matter of fact, it's been dripping all summer and I do have to add water back to the pool every now and then. But, to tell you the truth, I'm not going to worry about it, the season is almost over here and I will be closing up in just a few weeks.

Oh yes, I will put the cap away! But now I'm wondering.....I may need a new filter base (the thing that holds the sand). It keeps leaking around the cap - drip, drip, drip, drip. I did try putting some teflon tape around it but apparently did not do a good job. I have to find all the papers...

OMG - It sounds like I've been doing alot of unecessary work! I will definately leave the filter outside, turn to winterize and cover with a good tarp with the cap off this year. I will take the pump inside, just to be safe. I only did what the dealer told me to do. Come to think of it, I...
