Tested again last night and the FC held to around 4-5 and again this morning is was down to 0 again! :grrrr: Is this going to be a gallon a day to maintain, Or do I need like 4 gallons in at once to get to shock levels and it will maintain easier? Looks like I am off to the store to get more...

When I got home the father in law commented on how clear the water was....It looks amazing now! Wife agrees now that BBB is the way to go. Tested and the FC was 0 again, But everything else appeared normal (according to test strips) and was super clear......I added another gallon of bleach and...

Re: hello everyone - Questions about conversion Well, When we tested the copper level OUR kit showed very little to none in the water. We have only been using the start kit they gave us, so I have used very little of their chemicals in our pool - Maybe 32-64 oz total. I did backwash until...

Well, Tested this morning and most of the results where the same except PH was up to about 7.7 or around there and the CYA seems to have increased. STILL showed 0 on the FC and that was after a bag of crystal shock and gallon of bleach. Added another gallon of bleach this morning and tested it...

Re: hello everyone - Questions about conversion Tested the copper, and there was next to none in the pool. like .01 according to the test. Just using some 6 way test strips right now until my kit arrives. TH 0 FC 0 PH 7.2 TA 80 CYA 30-50 added a gallon of bleach (according to the pool calc)...

Re: hello everyone - Questions about conversion I do have a copper test at home - I will test it this afternoon. If its low enough, Should I start chlorinating asap? Kids will be starting school in 2 weeks, Should it be safe enough to use until then?

Re: hello everyone - Questions about conversion Yes we have had the green hair as well. also have noticed our skimmer is stained. :x Well this is not good. So we need to drain it, Or take the same steps in converting this as you would a baquacil pool? If we drain, How much do we drain?

Re: hello everyone - Questions about conversion Thats good news. So am I safe to assume my pool is a Baquacil pool, Just another brand?

Re: hello everyone - Questions about conversion Dont know if this has anything to do with the Chems not disinfecting, Or just the kids swimming too much but now 3 out of my 5 have ear infections. :shock: It is a Copper Based Chemical (non toxic). I shocked it last night because it was looking...

Re: hello everyone - Questions about conversion Yes, Matter of fact thats the company we bought our pool from.

Re: hello everyone-- This maybe a stupid question, But is pure n blue an off brand of baquacil? Thats all they gave us in our start up kit was pure n blue clear and pur n blue clean. Also have a couple of packets of crystal shock. So I guess our pool is a Baquacil pool right? :oops: :hammer...

Re: hello everyone-- I bought a DPD Deluxe Test Kit from Leslie pools. I think the pool should be fine until I receive the kit. Hopefully the kit is easy to use because I am sure no chemist. :oops: I will probably pick up one of the tf kits later if I cant get the pool balanced. So based on...

Re: hello everyone-- True and my kids would hate me to shut the pool down while its in the triple digits next week....We are in Oklahoma. My wife agrees and wants to change, But said not after only 2 weeks of it being open. How easy is it to replace the sand in the filter? Mine is a Laser...

Just bought a pool about a month ago and thinking about switching it over to a chlorine pool - we have had no problems with the it since we have had it and the water is still very clear, But it seems to cost alot more then chlorine and the water just dont seem very "clean". Its an 21ft 11,000g...
