It is all done. Now just straightening calcium and TA. Thanks for everyone's help.

No copper and iron was 0.1. My TA is 131, but I am not sure that I should worry about it until I finish the conversion. My FC was low after all day in the sun without any attention and I added 2 jugs of bleach (128oz) when I got home at 7pm. At 930 we were up to 14.5. Our water is the tiniest...

Thank you. I changed the thread because I wasn't being patient enough I think. You were the only one who had answered in 2 days. You are right, the lack of history isn't helpful. I wondered because of not putting anything on the forum in almost two weeks had harmed us for getting help. I am just...

Re: In middle of conversion to Chlorine from Baquacil. HELP!!! i thought of another question. Because my filter has very little HP, can I floc the water to help the suspended goo go to the bottom, so I can vacuum it?

Re: In middle of conversion to Chlorine from Baquacil. HELP!!! Thank you. We have a teeny pump and I think that is part of the problem. We have been changing it every 8 hours, but more was probably needed. It will be hard to do it during the workweek any more than that. I will post again when...

Re: In middle of conversion to Chlorine from Baquacil. HELP!!! I think you are right. I am just overthinking things. I do not drink Mountain Dew, but after you called it that, it is that exact color. I retread that post agin and have stopped testing for CC. Thanks for helping me relax a bit. Of...

Re: In middle of conversion to Chlorine from Baquacil. HELP!!! Thanks in advance for your help. I have only been adding regular bleach- no scents. No, I am not done converting and have not reach the parameters yet. I used town water to fill it, but I do not know if they have a problem with...

Re: In middle of conversion to Chlorine from Baquacil. HELP!!! Yes, I have read a bunch of them, but I hadn't read anything about people's water turning green. Mine turned colors with the bleach, but then went back to clear. Last evening when I put the bleach in is when it turned the whole pool...

In middle of conversion to Chlorine from Baquacil. HELP!!! I need HELP. I am in the middle of the conversion and everything was going great until yesterday. My pool is green. Last night :FC 9.5 and CC:4. This morning FC is 4 , CC is 6.5. I added bleach to bump it back up. There was gooo...

All, When I was adding chlorine it would turn orange in thevery pool. Now it stopped and theven WHOLE pool is green. My CC is high. I just checked it and my FC is 2.5 and my CC is 5.5. I bumped my FC back up to 15. What am I doing wrong? See attached picture of the pool that is green. Do pools...

Thanks. I did waste the water and I threw the floats in this time. I am about to vacuum again. My FC was3 and the CC was 6 just now. Will add more bleach to get it back to 15.

I have a few more questions now. When you add the chlorine, as the baqua is eaten up will the colors stop or lessen? I brushed the walls and floor of the pool and around the intakes. I have plastic pool stairs that you add water in to keep them done. My husband upgraded the stairs for the kids...

Okay, I am back and finally have a working pump again. I reread the baquacil conversion guidelines and began this morning. I noticed a problem soon into it. I have a taylor 2006 test kit. The first couple of times i tested, I had no free chlorine. My beginning baquacil number according to the...

Hi, all. Need help from you experts. You have probably seen my older questions about conversion to Chlorine from Baquacil and my ongoing pool problems.... I thought I would start a new thread about the pump. Am new pool owner. Only had it 5 weeks now. AG Proseries, soft vinyl, round 13,500...

I have read through pool school and have bought a test that you all have recommended. I can't remember which one it was however since the pump broke before it came in. We haven't used it yet. If I dump the water, do I spray the sides and pool down with straight bleach or diluted? Then do I just...

Re: I am in trouble Thank you. It cost about $125 in water. I am still on vacation and when I get home, will post a pic of the pump. That will be Monday or Tuesday. If I dump the water, do I scrub everything with bleach first before filling back up. How will I know I got everything well before...

Okay do I have some issues. I bought the proseries pool on clearance at sam's last year and we put in up this year. I begged for chlorine and my husband insisted on baquacil. Of course now he wants to change five weeks into the pool, but our pump broke. Of course proseries won't give us a new...

Thank you for you all's help. If I need the pump to be working, then I will wait until I get home. Bummer. I will be asking questions when I get home then. Thanks.

Thanks so much. I have already bought one of the test kits that the site offers. Since our pump is currently not working, can i even start the conversion until I get back? Then do I leave the filter out, so the goo doesn't clog it or just wash it out every few hours. I have read enough to know...

I am newbie at this. I wanted a chlorine pool, but my husband insisted on baquacil. Anyway, after we found TFP, he has decided to let me convert. It has taken us many weeks to get the pool clear and a lot of money. I have read how to convert, but I have a question as to when to do it. My husband...
