Baquacil to Chlorine conversion

[telesforos]

I think I on the home stretch. The pool "looks marvelous". I received my k2006 kit on 6/7 and the results are below. the pump has been running almost continuously since I started, I sometimes gave the pump the night off, I tested the water in the morning and added chlorine in the evening. I am trying to maintain the FC level at least 1ppm overnight so far I have not had any luck. I have changed the sand in the filter yet, that will happen in two weeks. I use cal hypo to shock the pool and on occasion have used it in place of bleach. I have been using the http://www.poolcalculator.com/ to assist me with quantities.

6/7/2012= (FC=.2ppm, CC 5 ppm, ph 7.6, TA 90 ppm)
6/9/2012=(FC=1.2ppm, CC=1.8ppm, CH=150ppm, TA=100ppm, ph=7.4)
6/10/2012(FC=.2ppm, CC=1.4ppm,Borate >15<30, ph 7.8, TA=100ppm, CH=140ppm)
6/12/2012(FC=.4ppm, CC=4ppm,Borate >25<30, ph 7.6, TA=100ppm)
6/14/2012(FC=.4ppm, CC=1.4ppm, ph 7.6, TA=100ppm, CH=140ppm)
6/15/2012(FC=1.4ppm, CC=1ppm, ph 7.6, TA=100ppm, TH=180ppm)
6/16/2012(FC=.6ppm, CC=2ppm, TH=180ppm)

I am assuming you meant to say that you had not changed the sand in your filter yet. You need to be keeping your FC higher since you have that CC reading. You started this conversion quite awhile ago. I would think it would be done by now. Go back and reread Ben's advice above about amounts of chlorine to be adding and get the FC up so you can get this thing finished.

You're gonna be so glad you did the conversion!
