Hi All! I'm new to this forum and there has been some great advice given!

I have a 18' x 48' Intex Metal Frame Above Ground Pool. We plan on leaving it up this winter, and draining 1/2 the water out before covering.

We are currently using Baquacil (1st year - new pool) and it's ok. It's just a bit cloudy and VERY expensive.

I would like to make the conversion to Chlorine, but from all the waiting and hassle, I think i'll wait until we open the pool in the spring. Will it be easier to do it this way? I would think the Baquacil levels will be alot lower after sitting all winter and refilling 1/2 the pool.

Any suggestions on how to convert during a start-up? I.E. Should I do the BBB method? Also, we have the upgraded 2,500 gallon pump.

Any advice is appreciated!

Thank you!
