Well, the pool is beautiful. My son had a birthday pool party yesterday in our sparkling pool. Great fun was had by all. I can't thank you all enough for your help in the conversion process. We couldn't have done it without you! :goodjob: Now if only the water would warm up faster! (80...

By proper levels do you mean swimming levels or 15ppm? ~Nikki

I have a new situation. My pool numbers were great, sparkleyness was achieved-all was well in pooldom. So, we put the solar cover on so we can warm the water for swimming. Now, the cc's are high again. The FC are still holding overnight. I have come to the conclusion that the chlorine is...

OMG!!! The sun is peeking out and is reflecting off our pool through our kitchen window onto the soffitt above the fridge . . . if that isn't sparkley then what is!!! And there it goes, well it was brief but beautiful while it lasted . . . no more rain . . . no more rain . . . no more rain ...

Well no wonder I can't see sparkley!!! We live in WI where it has been raining cats and dogs and the sun is just a distant memory. I have to drain the pool down again but my levels kept overnight! ~Nikki

okey dokey. I can test the TC and the FC but I have no way to test the CC. However, if I test both of those and find the difference it should be CC, correct? And for some reason I just don't see the sparkly, but maybe that's just me. The water looks good, I can see the bottom but my liner is...

I know I put this up yesterday but since those posts didn't carry over, here it is again. My name is Nikki and my last name starts with N. No cryptic hidden meaning there, sorry. I am just not that clever! It is so interesting to see what is behind some of the names. ~Nikki

Thank you very much. I am so hoping to have the pool ready for swimming by this weekend since school gets out on Friday. This is a great forum and very helpful. I am thrilled with all the advice and tidbits I have been able to glean. I "freecycled" what little bit of baqua stuff I had left...

so then, do I need to keep at 15ppm for 48 hours or is it good enough to make it overnight then I can adjust everything else.

Hi, I live in WI, as you may have seen on the national news we have had torrential downpours (about 10 inches in less than 48 hours). I had started conversion about 3 days before the rain and had the pool overnight once at 15ppm. Then the rains, had to drop the level of water twice and of...
