I expected after I changed the sand that ta da! Everything would level out. Since we changed the sand our pool has been very clear (no more green tint), but we have not been able to stabilize the chlorine. I was only adding to 15 ppm at night since our days have been hot and sunny. The first...

I'm wondering if you ever managed to stabilize your CC levels. We are having a similar problem.

Day 2: Making progress! Started the purge-dirge "Vacuum, brush, flush, water, vacuum, brush, flush, water" Photos for this post are in reverse chronological order...picture on top was the last photo taken. By Day 3 we could see the bottom of the pool...

Bringing the chlorine to 15 ppm brought out the pretty colors that were promised...and some other surprises. :shock: Photos for this post are in reverse chronological order...picture on top was the last photo of the day.

:hammer: Starting the process of making the switch (see pics attached). Photos for this post are in reverse chronological order...

We had the sand changed yesterday. There was a spike in the CC up to 6 but the water tint has cleared, so it appears to be doing something. This evening the FC = 6 and and CC = 3. I was hoping to install the SWG this weekend but it arrived severely damaged. I am looking forward to not having to...

I didn't have the tool to change the sand so am having it changed tomorrow...1 week from when I started the conversion. Although I am not loosing much chlorine at night (1-2 FC), I am having trouble getting the CCs to drop below 3. I started adding CYA (aprox 6 lbs total) but am still loosing...

I'm having trouble uploading photos...I guess they are too big. Now that I have appeared to turn the corner, should I try to maintain between 8 and 10 ppm free chlorine (rather than 15 ppm) to protect my vinyl? Heading out to get some clean sand and CYA.

Yey! Clear water! It has been a busy 3 days of testing, vacuuming, backflushing and brushing with lots of trips to Walmart and the local grocer to replenish our bleach supply in between. On Wednesday I added the chlorine every hour or two and just in the morning and evening on Thursday and...

Thanks for the confirmation! I was just at work doing the calculations and came up pretty close to your instructions... 6% bleach = 60000 ppm in 26000 gallons that is about 2.3 ppm Therefore about 6.5 gallons would = 15 ppm

ok. Got my TF 100 test kit and opened the inground vinyl pool. It is cloudy and looks like tooth paste. This is most assuredly white water mildew which was a recurring problem with the Baquasil products. Pictures forthcoming. I ran the tests pH: 7.2 Total Chlorine: 0 Alkalinity: I'd say between...

Thanks for the advice to wait on on the generator. I have not peeked under the pool cover yet to see what I have. If the water is clear will it still turn green before it gets clear again with chlorine?

We are thinking of converting from Baquasil to a Salt Water Generator Chlorine system. I have read "Convert Your Baqua Pool to Chlorine." Should I follow these instructions using liquid bleach until I stabilize the chlorine in my pool or can I allow the salt water generator to do that for me...

Converting inground from Baquasil to Salt Water We are thinking of converting our 26,000 Gallon inground from Baquasil to Salt Water Chlorination. Do We follow the posted instruction process first, adding our own chlorineand then start with the salt water system? ...or is there a different...
