Thanks for the information. This just got a bit easier!

I added approx 2 qts of muriatic acid per Pool Math. That dropped the pH to 7.2 and the TA is down from 100 to 80. Built an aerator for my air compressor using PVC and aerated for 4 hours. pH is up to 7.6 but TA remains 80. I'll do it all again tomorrow and I think it'll be about right. Thanks...

I appreciate the quick response. I will get after the TA first thing in the morning.

Thank for the quick response and for the link. I'll get to work on lowering TA first thing tomorrow.

Thank you very much. I'll get to work on lowering the TA and see what happens.

Good evening. I recently converted our pool to chlorine and all went well. When the conversion was complete, I installed a SWG and it's working away. It's been running for about a week now and I just lowered the output a bit because the chlorine was staying at about 4.5 to 5 ppm even at the...

Mission complete. Our pool is converted to chlorine, the salt is added, the swg is installed, and everything seems to be working fine. Thank you for the great advice, guidance, and articles.

Thank you!!

Yes sir. I dropped from 15 to 12 ppm FC overnight, so getting close. I did not change the sand yet, but only because I got too busy installing a whole house water filter (lots of projects to do on our "new" house). I plan to change the filter media today or tomorrow and will install the new...

Our conversion continues and I think we're nearing completion. Starting to use way less chlorine and FC is remaining high while CC is steadily dropping. Here are some photos to show the progress from start date (17 APR) to now.

Hello to all. I'm brand new to the forum and came here looking for info on converting our above ground pool from Baquacil to chlorine. The conversion is on day six now and all seems to be going well. Thanks for all the information and helpful hints.
