how to convert Baqua to Salt?

[prh129]

Invest in a good drops-based test kit - it's an absolute must to running your pool successfully. Learn how to use it and post your test results so people here can help. Initially you will need to put in enough bleach to get the chlorine level up to 15 ppm and hold it there until the Baq is gone.

Once you get squared away, you should find the care of the pool much less than a child or dog. I spend about an hour and a half a week total including testing, adding chemicals etc. (And unlike a child or dog, I can tend to the pool when I want, not when it needs me!) Chlorine usually gets a bad rap from public pools where it is much harder to keep in balance. When you maintain your own pool, you will probably find that chlorine isn't as bad as you think.

Good luck.

I don't want to be rude but you do realize that the salt system by Intex is just creating chlorine from the salt molecule? Granted the application of chlorine is infinetly easier but your pool is still going to be chlorinated. Just an FYI...

Thanks everyone for all your help - i feel well supported and advised! i am going to search the site for details on ordering Bens kit - and then i will start.
re. the fact that the salt system IS chlorine (which i didn't want) - hmmm...yes - i do realise that sounded a bit silly. But i am also realising that it is probably the bad management of chlorine that gives it its bad name.
Also from all i read, the chlorine produced in the salt system is not nearly so harsh and does not have the other added ingredients (albeit so-called 'inert') that chemical chlorine does.
Thanks again
