Re: Baquacil conversion with percarbonates
Ordering my testing kit in the morning. Here's a little background. I had the pool opened towards the end of April (again this is only our second year, making this the first opening). They came and opened it while I was not home and I must say that I was a little surprised to see what it looked like when I got home (best described as powdered milk suspended in water). I have been testing and adding stuff ever since.....and throw in the added pressure that I hosted a graduation party yesterday. I even treated the pool for white mold last week and throughout ALL of it, the pool has looked essentially the same.
Ok.....my last water levels are from Friday:
Sanitizer 56
pH 6.6
TA 99
CA 166
Oxidizer 69
I added pH increaser, oxidizer, and CDX on Friday. Since, have had multiple children swimming on Saturday and rain all day today.
I realize that I will need to wait some time for the oxidizer level to fall but trying to plan ahead, order my test kit, and start stockpiling chlorine as I anticipate it is going to take a lot.
Only considered sodium percarbonate as a possible way to bring the oxidizer level down a little quicker as Memorial day weekend would be a great 3 days for me to devote to the initial steps.
