So I fought the temptation of changing my sand and adding CYA today. Though I did go out and purchase 100lbs. of GEO Sand and 3 gallons of LIQUID CYA. I'm assuming the liquid would be better and more immediate than dissolving granular and needing to re-add. The liquid came in at around $33/gal...

Sunday 9:00am I tested again this morning. Last night's Test Results: Saturday 9:00pm I dosed (4) 182oz Clorox Saturday 10:00pm Test Results: FC 16 CC 2.5 TC 18.5 T/A 110 Sunday 8:00am Test Results: FC 11.5 CC 2.5 TC 14 pH 7.5 T/A 120

Saturday 10:30pm I have not Cloroxed since Friday night I sampled & tested @ 9:00pm Test Results: Sat_03_9p FC .5 CC 2.5 TC 3.0 *Note: when adding R-870 powder to 10ml pool water sample there was a nearly unnoticable change to a very faint pink tint. Thus the very low FC result? I lost nearly...

Hey Jason, Thanks for commenting. So I shouldn't change sand until CC loss of .5 Do I REALLY need to have 2 days in a row? Uhhhh...it's the kids, yeah the kids are impatient (LOL!) I have been adding Clorox only in the evening since Thursday night. What's your opinion on ZEO-Sand? Are you...

Saturday 9:00am I dosed (4) 182oz Clorox @ 1:00am Sampled & tested @ 2:00am Test results: Sat_01_2a FC 16 CC 3 TC 19 *I did not test further Sampled & tested again @ 8:30am Test results: Sat_02_830a FC 13 CC 3.5 TC 16.5 pH 7.6 T/A 120

Jason, So go ahead and dose the calculated nearly (4) 182oz. Clorox jugs this evening, wait about an hour, test the water, then early tomorrow before strong sunlight test again and perform a carefull overnight loss using the TF-100?

......if the neighbors found me a bit odd before......

Friday 4:00pm So it rained. It rained hard! Flash flood warning rain came down for hours. Finally stopped around 1:00pm I dosed (4) 182oz Clorox @ 1:00am I haven't added any since. I'm re-posting my 7:00am water results below: Fri_01_7a FC 15.5 CC 5.5 TC 21 pH 7.4 T/A 110 I just sampled again...

Here are some pictures from my BaquaCrud Conversion This picture is a bit misleading as the color of the pool water is actually a sickly pea green I hadn't seen the pool bottom since the beginning of the season. Note:Those are clouds reflecting on the water's surface Quite inviting...

You can check my progress pics at BC_2_CC Photo_Diary I will be adding more pics today.

Friday 7:00am There's a heavy drizzle of rain coming down. Pool is clearing up nicely. I can make out the drain in the deep end. But bottom is still a bit fuzzy. I had dosed (4) large Clorox this morning @ 1:30 Just sampled some water. Today's first test results are below. Fri_01_7a FC 15.5 CC...

Friday 1:30am Rain has stopped. There's a bit of a drizzle. The deep end is clearing up nicely. Still can't see the floor drain. Clarity off the pool wall is increasingly larger towards the center of the deep end and has improved tremendously. Deep end pool light actually illuminates all the way...

Exactly right. I started my conversion Sunday May 31st. I sorta winged it with the bleach for the first 2 days 'till I received my TF-100. I actually probly over-chlorinated some, but that may have also contributed to my progress. On Tuesday I had my test kit and the process became more...
