Thank you for the responses. I will continue to do my research and come up with a plan for next season. I know there is a lot of good information already on this website. As an aside, how many hours a day should you run your pool filter under normal conditions? The pool store that sells...

Ok, with your guys advice I will wait to convert and start getting the appropriate chemicals back in to make it through the summer. What should I avoid with the intention of converting? Obviously it wouldn't be smart to add the CDX, since that seems to wreak havoc on the conversion. As it is...

I haven't added because I was contemplating converting. However, the process has taken longer and now I think it will be a spring issue. I was adding the dosages weekly until my conversion thoughts started.

The chlorinator is not installed and probably could be returned at this point. I was under the impression people used the tabs and the chlorinator would help to not have a daily adder, as life gets very busy. I like the idea of not being tied to the pool for daily chemical additions...

In the case of liquid chlorine then, the chlorinator will not be used? I have to believe it wouldn't work with liquid chlorine.

Ironically I have never had chlorine before, haha. And I don't get the slime/mold that everyone refers to. Yet. I have been on it 2 years, but I do get the aforementioned algae issues and they seem to be recurring without fail. That then leads to a vacuum to waste process, refill the pool...

I am going to have to consider when I want to switch, given I couldn't really start until the beginning of august. Seems like a waste to do it then, and I would be better served to do it in the spring, but we will see. In the meantime, looking ahead to the future, the chlorine tabs and...

I did clean the filter recently, I have one that was chemically cleaned waiting, and a new cartridge for after the conversion, whether I do it now or next year.

With regard to switching, I am very open to it, and have bought some items for it, although now I am not sure if I have the correct stuff. I had read to let the levels get to 0, and then go with chlorine free shock for 48 hours etc etc. I am reading on this site on the pool school suggestion...

Apologies from the start for the long post, but I just do no know what course of action would be best to take. I have used baquacil for 2 years after a liner replacement. It is about 16x32 above ground, and is only opened seasonally. (Wisconsin, probably Late April to Late September or so)...
