Someone that gave me conversion information from another site told me that the only numbers I had to be concerned with during the conversion process was that of the santizier. Once I got the sanitizer to 0, I was to take a glass of pool water, add a few drops of bleach and if no color change, the pool was ready. I did and now my pool is a green mess.
Before, I had the baquacil numbers down low by adding 12 lbs of non-chlorine free shock to my 7567 gallon ab. As soon as I did the above and added chlorine shock w/tablet, I got a little of the brown/yellow scum but that soon disapated. I continued then to add chlorine shock (an additional 10 lbs.) and a gallon of bleach and it turned a nasty dark green (so dark I couldn't see bottom). Wouldn't hold chlorine. My husband and I decided to drain half of the pool last night and refill. I've vaccuumed alot of scum off of the bottom, and restarted the filter and now I have a nice see through pastel green. Is there any suggestions or is the end near? HELP!
