No I haven't, could that be a possible reason for the water color?? I have had this pool for 6 years, the last two using Baquacil. I have always had clear water without any issues. The pool is filled using water run through our water softner. Do you think a metal test might be worth while?

Well, after maintaining 20 ppm for 9 straight days, filtering 24/7, with no cc's to report, I've decided to return to maintenance levels and filtering times. The water is still turquoise, but I'm starting to think that it's from all the chlorox I've dumped in over the past 2 months :x ....

Update, I've maintained a level of 20 ppm since last Monday, verified and adjusted 4 - 5 times daily. Brushed the entire pool several times. Ph has been adjusted to 7.4. Small drop offs in FC between checks with mostly 0 CC's. Sand filter running 24/7 for the past 4 weeks (the electric...

Jason, thanks for the questions. I am using a hayward sand filter with sand replaced shortly after the Baquacil conversion. I backwash more frequently then needed, once a day until the water runs clear. The water is initially dirty for a few minutes. My pressure gauge does not read correctly...

Yes, I have done numerous overnight FC tests and the results are always the same, minimal drop in FC and 0 -.5 CC's. I have been backwashing as required, the water is initially dirty but cleans up within a couple of minutes. I have been keeping the FC at 20 ppm throughout the day today and...

Poolmom, thanks for the suggestions. It seems so long ago that I underwent the Baquacil conversion that I can't remember how I determined I was done!! I know that I kept the chlorine at the conversion levels for quite a while before letting it drop, but I can't remember how the determination...

This is all very frustrating for me. I've had this pool for over 10 years, the last two years utilizing Baquacil. I never have had any issues with algae with either chlorine or baquacil. Currently holdng at 20 ppm, backwashed, brushed twice today as well as as clearing out the Walmart Clorox...

Yes, I am using a FAS/DPD chlorine test. I've already had to order refills for the TF-100 test kit. LOL I normally run the filter from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM, but since the conversion I have been running it 24/7. Question, when the algae is killed off, will the pool water change to a cloudy...

Just saw your post Duraleigh, thank you. As I explained in my first post, I have maintained my pool at shock level for a week at least twice during this period, though I was aiming at 15ppm. I'll have to increase it to 20 ppm for this go around. I have seen the three indications of victory...

Thank you for taking the time to read and comment on my situation Casey. I've updated my signature to reflect my pool characteristics. I began another round of shock treatment after posting last night and will accelerate brushing to twice daily. My FC's only dropped by .5 as of this...

I have restrained myself from posting my pool issues in the hope that things would evenually work out, but I have been struggling with greenish pool water for over 7 weeks now. First a little background... I underwent the Baquacil to BBB conversion on my 24 foot above ground pool when I opened...
