ok here is where i'm at. started conversion about 3 weeks ago before i found this
site. with the help of local pool store i began with 3 lbs of non chlorine shock for 2
days. this took my baq reading from 30 to zero.
they then had me start shocking withgranular chlorine at the rate of 4 lbs a day.
this went on for 4 or 5 days. pool went through many color changes from white, brown, green, very light green and then
perfectly clear. at this time they had me add cya and called conversion complete.
one week later i had water tested and it showed no chlorine and low TA. they had me add
5 lbs of baking soda and then shock the pool. at this time pool turned lighr green again
and has stayed that way.
in the mean time i ordered tf-100 test kit and began my own testing .
i have brought pool to shock level every day for a week now (with bleach this time).
pool is still perfectly clear, yet still light green. i brought fc to 15 ppm this morning and 8
hours later it was @ 2.5, (with cc 0f 16??
my question is : what do i do next? will green eventually
go away?
please help as patience is running out.
