Thank you for all information mgtfp. I will look into it. When I woke up today my pool looked like this. Water is very clear and nothing else happend when I added chlorine today. The challenge now is to pass the two last tests without a proper test kit. I think I am getting there tough soon...

Thanks mgtfp for the explanation. Day 1 completed. Lesson learned that I need to buy a FAS/DPD test kit like you all said. Problem is that they are hard to find (Have to ship them overseas) over here and with our short swimming season over here I felt that I had to get this started. I began the...

But is almost hard to notice because my liner color usually makes my water look a little green.

Added my first dosage. Pool got a tint of green but no goo.

Actually have a third question also. Read in a local pool forum that phmb decomposes to ammonia and urea and that the later is something you want to avoid in your pool. No idea if the guy knew what he was talking about. But it made think a bit about whether there are any health aspects to the...

Ok today is the day. Two more questions. I have a pool roof. witch I can swim under. 4 segments that I can move separate. Should I have it open or closed. I think maybe its best to have the pool partly closed so I both protect the CL against the sun but also let it vent. Any suggestions? Also...

Finally found some liquid chlorine at a pool store in a nearby city. I found out tough that is not pure Sodium hypochlorite. It also contains less then one percent sodium hydroxide. Would that be a problem? If it isn´t I will probably begin on thursday with the process.

A little progress report. I drained 50% of the pool on thursday. Now I cant see the difference between my tap water and the pool water when I test it with my test kit (tablets). I am considering skipping another partial drain because of that and continue with the conversion.

Thanks you for your replies. I had no problems with my draining.

No they are built into the pool. You can see what I mean att my pool manufacturers homepage here

Thanks for your reply. I have no shallow end in my pool but on one side there is a stair with 4 steps witch I am wondering if there is any risk with? And yes I have read about the procedure and wants to get the baqua level down before I begin.

I am converting my pool from baquacil to chlorine and because of that I am thinking of doing a partial drain to get the phmb levels down before I start. On one shortside of the pool I got four steps down into the pool. Is there anyone who knows if there are any risks with that. When the pool was...

Ok thanks for the help. I think I go for two 50% drains before I start then.
