So I am planning to start my conversion today. I have spent a lot of time reading other conversion stories and I'm ready to get started. My test kit will be delivered today, so I am heading to the store to stock up on bleach.
I have a 17x33 in-ground pool about 18K gallons using a DE filter.
I did have a few questions before starting.
- Should I remove the ladder from the deep end before starting?
- It rained a lot last night. Will this have any effect on starting the conversion?
- When should I start vacuuming? Does it take a few days or will stuff start accumulation right away?
I will post pics as I go along. Pool looks wonderful right now, but I can't stand the smell and taste. Wishing I never started the baquacil...but, you live and learn. Never again.
So here are my starting pics:
