I'm happy so far. Here is 2 pictures. The close up shows the little brown gritty spots on the bottom. Before I started my conversion I had a grit that covered everything in the pool. The liner felt like 60 grit sandpaper on your feet. It's all but gone, all that remains is these little brown...

How much fc is way to much. We had a downpour of rain last night so I came out before bed and checked my levels, I was at 4 fc 1.5 cc. I added my bleach but must have read the numbers wrong cause 30 minutes later I was at 21 fc .5 cc. This morning I'm at 19 fc and .5 cc. The pool is clear and...

Ok sand change is not planned yet I only mentioned it as part of my bubble problem. I'm still checking my levels hourly and adding bleach. The latest is Fc-7 cc-2 Ph-7.2 The waters pretty clear today I'll post a pic when I go inside.

I think I have a small air leak at the pump inlet. So that would by bubbles, I plan to fix it when I change the sand today. This morning my ph is 7.2 fc is 4.5 cc is 3 Added 222 oz of bleach and started the vac. - - - Updated - - - Oh you can also see the pebbles in the liner pattern. I...

Here is a pic for now.

I didn't see a lot of funky colors or goo, but my sanitizer and oxidizer levels were almost zero when I started. I'll take a picture in the morning. My fc is 14. And my ph is 7.2. I've read the school post so much I have a lot of it memorized. I'm still looking at a milky blue pool for now. I'll...

Hay guys, I started my conversion today. I have added 655 oz of 8.25% Clorox after an hour my pool is blueish white here are my first numbers. Cc-5 Fc-5 ta-200 ch-375 cya-0 borate-0 i waited a month following my last maintain economic dose of Baqucil so a lot was burnt off by the sun and heat...

One last thing, how long after my last baquacil should I wait to start converting and which forum should I post my numbers. I expecting 0 chlorine but my ph should be close to 7.2-7.4

Guys thanks for the help I guess I'll be moving to a new forum I just purchased my first test kit and toys. By by baquacil

I spent more than that yesterday on maintenance Dose chemicals. will this kit work with my Baquacil or is it used if I convert to cl? I read on here it is a process to convert that my need to wait till fall. I have never ever used anything but Baquacil so this is all new.

I guess my first jump will be in the testing department. I see everyone agrees strips are useless. I have trusted a local supplier but I think I want to do my own if it affordable.

Hi all, I just ran across the forum while searching for solutions to grit on my pool floor. I have owned a pool close to 15 years and have never used chlorine. I have been an avid used of Baquacil Chemicals. I guess I'm just lucky because I have had little trouble staying balanced. I live in...
