    Thanks. I am on it today. Babysitting the pool. Heading out for more bleach. I had a lot of Baqua in my pool. Way up on the testing strip for Baqua pools. I am not surprised about how much it is taking. I am home everyday, so I can babysit it more. Will keep posting my stats.

    I have no lights or any other places where bacqua goo can hide. I am rinsing my filter regularly. I will add more bleach. I used 4 gallons today but was doing every hour during the day until Friday. At last count I was up to 45 gallons. I have never seen 15ppm. Highest has been 9.

    Bam! CYA today was not readable. Never could see the black dot in the test tube. FC dropped to .5. Not sure what to do since this is a baqua conversion to chlorine. Should I get a stabalizer at the pool store?

    Conversion progress

    Started my conversion process on Monday, August 10, 2015. Today, Thursday, August 13. I finally saw a faint pattern on the bottom of my pool. I never did see a "plume" of colors but my cartridge filter rinses out a lot of "brown muck" every time I clean it. I am heading out this morning for...

    How often can I add the bleach?

    OK. I was never good at chemistry but here goes. I don't even know if these levels are appropriate. I used the Taylor K-2006 and think I followed the directions for each test. Let me know if these are totally abnormal and I didn't calculate correctly. Let me add that my baquacil levels were...

    How often can I add the bleach?

    I have been adding bleach every hour during the day but am wondering if it can be added more often since I am home. I have added 20 gallons of 8.25 % without much change in the last two days. Will adding bleach more often, speed up the process?

    Bacquacil "Goo"

    Plan on starting my conversion tomorrow as I have not been able to use my pool all summer anyway because of all kinds of problems with Bacquacil. A couple of my friends swear by it and have no problems. This year has been a nightmare for me. This is the 3rd year and my pool has seen a lot of...
