    Success...

    All, The water is clear, clean and pretty, no CC, holding 15 and will keep it that way for another 24 hrs then I am going to turn on the SWG. Thank you all for your words of encouragement and your patience, otherwise I would still be wrestling the pea soup and baquacil. Folks, this forum is...

    Huge improvement...!

    I am ecstatic! I went to test the water this morning and I can see the bottom of my pool. The filter had very little gunk on it, and the numbers look a lot better. The conversion stalled for sometime, I think that the turnaround was the addition of the 2 lbs of baking soda. These are the new...

    Pool still hazy, water will not clear

    All, My conversion is not doing well, the water is very blue but hazy, I can't see the bottom so I doubled up on bleach and now its too high and holding. I tested with a TF-100 kit and had problems with the TA. The instructions say to add R-0009 until the solution turns red. My was only yellow...

    The pea soup in my pool is gone and I think that the end is near. before I dump the salt into my pool, do I have to have everything else (PH, CYA, etc) on target or add the salt first? Thanks, Roberto P.S. Boy, I was getting nervous with the site down!

    My Aqua Trol just came in....

    My Aqua Trol is in, just in time, when my conversion from baquacil is coming to an end. It only took about 4 days for it to come in, for 503.00 shipped to my door. I was undecided between this and the Aqua Rite (629.00 shipped) but the Aqua Trol was so easy to mount, (PVC pipe) that I am glad I...

    Real capacity of my pool?

    Greetings, all, I have an oval pool and I am in the middle of doing a Baquacil conversion. My pool is 15X30X4 and the manual that came with my SWG says to multiply L X W X D X 6.7, which comes out to 12060 gal. The pool calculator comes out at 10600 gal, and the discrepancy in capacities makes...

    I couldn't find CYA, I can't start my conversion

    Folks, I just walked all over Lowes and Home Depot, and I couldn't find Cyanuric acid. The store clerks just blinked when I asked, both in the swimming pool section and paints, and the pool stores are all closed on Sunday. What exactly is Cyanuric acid? What else is it used for? brand names...

    Paging Poolio.......

    "You can kill two birds with one stone and shock using Di-Chlor. This will help get your CYA up to that 60-80 range required for your swg. Actually the goldline one requires 100ppm. Just thought I would help you save some $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$" Poolio, I am going this route, starting the...

    Question for longtime Aqua Rite/Trol users....

    I am about to order an SWG, but I am undecided which one would be better in the longrun, I could use a little help from owners and longtime users in deciding which one to buy. 1. Cost is not really a factor, since the Aqua Trol can be found for about $500 and the Aqua Rite for about $600...
