Converting from Baquacil to Bleach!

Finally can post a thread, so here are my results and some questions.

FC = 13 x .2 = 2.6
CC = 17 x .2 = 3.4
added 10 gallons of 6% bleach

6-21-13 at 8:14 pm
FC = 46 x .2 = 9.2

6-22-13 at 8:15 am
FC = 20 x .2 = 4

6-22-13 at 7:03 pm
FC = 12 x .2 = 2.4
added 20 gallons of 6% bleach

6-22-13 at 8:25 pm
FC = 55 x .2 = 11.0
CC = 62 x .2 = 12.4

Pool looks green but I can see the bottom. Swept pool yesterday and tonight. Cannot seem to get the FC reading to FC=15. Should I add more than 20 gallons of bleach?

Question on K-2006. When I add the 2 dippers of R-0870, the water immediately turns pink. I add the R-0871 dropwise until it looks to be colorless. Then I set the tube down to make my notes. When I look at the tube again, it is pink again. Is this normal? Should I stop adding drops once it turns colorless the first time or should I add more drops until it turns colorless again? Experimenting, I let the tube set for about 10 minutes with the 2 dippers of R-0870 in it, then added the R-0871 until it was colorless and this time it did not turn pink again. Is this acceptable?

Thanks for your help!

Go with the colors you get before you let it sit. Also, use the 10ml sample instead of the 25ml sample to make your reagents last longer. Keep hammering it with bleach!

(Though the conversion is a pain, you are gonna be so glad you did it!)
