How well did the addition of FnC work in your pool. Is this a shortcut in getting the Baq out? I have a reading of 50 for Baq. I am converting to Chlorine. The cloudy water is not going away. I am in Jackson, NJ.

I didn't use FnC, but I was able to order generic sodium percarbonate from The Chemistry Store online. I think I posted a link in this thread. Actually, all the details of my conversion are in this thread if you read all the pages. Pay particular attention to waterbear's posts in this thread. He seems to be the one that knows a lot about using sodium percarbonate for Baquacil conversion.
Adding the sodium percarb helped my conversion go faster-- I didn't have the "Goo a lot of converters talk about and I had less extreme color changes. Whether the cost of the stuff was more or less than the extra bleach I would have had to use... hard to say, but my guess is it cost me less doing it that way.
If you already started your conversion by adding bleach, I don't think you can do the sodium percarbonate at that stage, though.
