    Default Problem with conversion from Baquacil! Please Help!!

    O.k. Thanks to all that have been helping so far. Please keep it coming. I haven't used the clorox outdoor yet, I bought it just in case, but I wasn't dare gonna put it in without asking y'all first. Just tested with a cheap drop test kit. As far as I can tell, ph is ok, I think the cl is 30!!!!! I say this because my test kit only measures to 3, so I diluted it like I read on one of the replies. I diluted 10 to 1 & it still looks like 3. Kit doesn't test anything else, but "strips" say alk is between 80-120, hardness is 0-100, total cl is +10, fcl is +10, ph is 7.2-8?? I don't have anything to test cya. What I can't understand is why my cl levels aren't dropping at all. It has been very cloudy & rainy since Wednesday. My water is a light green shade, & very cloudy. I can see the outline of the bottom step, but can't tell that it is a step. The top step looks mostly clear, but has some brownish orange stuff that keeps getting on it. I just bought 12 more gallons of 6% bleach & 2 boxes of borax just in case I needed it. I also bought sand to change the filter out. So, what do I do next? I have been at this for 8 days now. Cl hasn't really dropped at all since Sunday or Monday. I plan to replace sand tomorrow, if that is a good idea?? Waiting on replies before I do ANYTHING else!!!! Thanks!!
