Hi, I just started the conversion from a baqua pool to chlorine. I must say, it’s a bit strange with all the color changes and the weird bright yellow water that kills the grass coming out when I backwash the sand filter. I’m doing this on a 24 foot round above ground vinyl lined pool. I’m really hoping the process doesn’t bleach the liner. Also there are all kinds of little white floaters in the water right now. Since I haven’t put any baqua stuff in the pool during the winter, I really didn’t expect much of a reaction. But it’s like a crazy science experiment.
Im dumping about 2 gallons of chlorine in at a time to bring free chlorine up to 15ppm like the conversion directions say. Does anyone know how long it’s supposed to stay at 15? And then what is normal after that? When I measure the free chlorine using the Taylor k2006 kit, my last measurement was only 0.6ppm (a long way from 15) with 1.4ppm for combined chlorine. Not sure if that matters right now.
Any advice on whether all this is normal?
thanks!!
