We double shocked our pool last week (I believe it was last Monday) and had FC counts in the teens for days. The past weekend our pool was still too high to swim in. PH 7.8 and alkalinity 110. We noticed green still accumulating at the bottom of the pool and thought dead algae. But now that...

Update: we are draining. About 1' drained so far.

We started Friday night, we really weren't adding enough on Friday so Saturday was more like day 1. Since our pump could not keep up yesterday we feel really defeated and are trying to figure out the draining situation.

@mknauss the line for the house waste? Could the goo cause any damage to it?

@Leebo where do people drain the baqua goo off too in the event they need to drain? We don't think our filter will make it and we cannot drain into our storm water drains. We feel so defeated and now have 9000 gallons of goo and no clue where to put it.

Thank you for your input @mknauss !!

I read it but I definitely could be misunderstanding something. We have been adding chlorine every hour. The highest chlorine level we have had an hour after adding has been 2-3 ppm of FC. Our water definitely has the goo forming but we just aren't sure our filter can handle it. My husband...

Sorry I meant increase. I'm new to all this the movement in the pool was decreasing but filter pressure increasing. We do not really have anywhere to drain the water to. Especially due to its current state.

Our filter pressure keeps dropping too.

Does any have estimates on how long this stage will last? We keep adding enough chlorine to get to 15ppm but when we test in an hour there is no chlorine. We have added 19 jugs so far and the pic is where we are at.

Morning 3.

Anyone know if that looks okay?

Current status.

Another question. Is there anything that could interfere to give zero chlorine readings? I purchase some test strips to have an alternate testing method on hand. I tested my DPD powder with tap water/chlorine mix and one drop made the water a nice vibrant pink so that makes me think it does...

Current status. I tried the 10ml chlorine test again. It turned cloudy pink after adding the scoops. After adding 30 drops of R-0871 it was no longer cloudy but was vibrant pink. It seems impossible to have chlorine that high still since we have not added any additional chlorine since we...

Before and after day 1.

Thanks! That is the guide we are trying to follow for the conversion. :) I also downloaded the pool math app to help me with the process. I went ahead and ordered the refill. The calculator said to add 1.5 gallons of liquid chlorine to get us to 15ppm. I just tried the 10ml and think I am...

We just started the process of converting to chlorine. We have a 10k gallon pool. Purchased the Taylor k2006 test kit. We tested PH and got that where we wanted and now we dumped the liquid chlorine in. We want to test to make sure we got it to 15ppm for FC. Looking at the test instructions...
