Thanks so much Jason, will keep at it and do as told. Add more CYA 4 lb., lower ph, and keep at it with BBB. Have a sparkling pool thanks to this website! Cheers

Thanks so much for quick reply! This is a wonderful website and everyone has been such a help. Yes the water looks wonderful and I can't wait to get in, temps are in high 90s. Will push FC up again right away and keep my fingers crossed on passing OCLT real soon. Know TA is high, fill water is...

Just tested again Day 7 12:30 pm FC = 7 ph = 7.3 Do I need to raise ph? Thanks

Sorry haven't kept up with posting our progress so this will be a bit longer... Yesterday (Day 6) morning 7 AM we successfully passed stage 1 of OCLT, lost only 1 ppm of FC FC = 14 CC = 1.5 TA = 275 CH = 400 no ph test done due to high FC and no CYA test since I had no added any CYA ever...

Thanks Jason, Will keep working on conversion process - get the SWG up and running and then tackle the stains with Vitamin C and trichlor tablets tests. Stains have faded quite a bit since we started conversion. Thanks - Barb

Thanks so much for quick reply, Dave. Water looks pretty clear, pics below. However there are stains on vinyl liner, believe this is residue from major algae attacks during baquacil use. Will have to deal with those once conversion is completed and SWG installed. Plan on testing water later on...
