Thanks Jason for following the progress of my conversion. The pool clarity looks incredible. One day this summer, I thought my pool sparkled with the addition of $50 of Soft Swim chemicals. Boy was I wrong. And the clarity only lasted one day. I may be able to do the BBB method for just the...

Tested last night at 2130 FC 13 Added 41 oz to bring FC to 15 CC 2 It rained most of the evening. This morning at 0830; FC 11 CC 2 pH 7.8 Rained on and off most of the night.

1330 Test Mostly cloudy weather today. FC- 8 Added 1 gal, 2 cups to bring FC to 15 CC- 2 pH 7.4 Should I be concerned with pH fluctuations while converting? Last pH was 8.0 but the FC was really high.

8/11 0900 test FC 14; added 20 oz bleach to bring up to 15 CC 3 still no significant color change

2030 test FC 20 CC 3 pH 8 TA-120 CYA- 0 The pool looks cleaner and clearer than ever. It has a sparkle it's never had. I'll wait till the morning to retest and see what's happened. Have you ever heard of a conversion taking 24-48 hours? Assuming I had very low residual of Baqa/Soft Swim...

oops... I meant R0871. I just did a 3:1 test diluted test to save on the reagent. 7.5ml of RODI and 2.5ml of pool water. One scoop of powder and 11 drops of 0871. Wouldn't that yield a FC of 33ppm? I may be doing something wrong. I'll wait another couple of hours and test again. There is...

I have the Taylor K-2006. I put 10ml of pool water in the vial, 2 scoops of power and the water turned pink and then cleared up. Instructions said to add 1 more scoop of power. Then, while swirling, it took 56 drops of 6071. FC of 27. I retested a short time later by adding 5ml of RODI...

I made the run to Costco yesterday (Sunday) for the bleach. Just picked up 8 large jugs. Two 182oz jugs for $5.54. Ran by the pool store for a Taylor K-2006 but they were closed. I began last night to take advantage of the evening. 8/9 2100- Add first bleach, 2.8gallons (two jugs)...

Nice job providing the hour by hour detail. :-D I'm about to start my conversion. Had to wait for a couple of days off. Looking forward to seeing your results.

Will CL at 15ppm damage the solar cover. What about the heater internals. I'm curious about doing the conversion with the solar cover on to keep CL in and debris out. I'd pour the bleach in front of the pump outlet into the pool to disperse. Any thoughts. What about the Bacqua goo going...

Hey thanks. Conversion to begin soon. I'll wait for the chemicals to drop down low first.

Newbie! Going to convert from soft swim soon. :hammer: Only have had 1 day of sparkling clear water with Soft Swim. That was after adding $40 of Peroxide 'C'. Left over from years ago is a BioGuard 1200v test kit. It measures free CL but not CC. Should I toss it? Thanks.
