Conversion in Spring?

[pulmom7]

Hello dear pool friends!
I have been reading this forum all summer, and realllllllllly thinking about conversion. Our pool was Softswim for about 6 years, got tired of always needing something and having to drive out of town to get it! Then, we switched to the Sun non-chloine products. Last summer I switched to Baquacil and basically did it all on my own with no testing at the pool store. It was good...clear, except for the standard haze I get every end of season.

This year has been awful. Starting having water tested again and of course, I needed..something...everytime. Unfortunately, or not...I combined the Sun non chlorine products and Baq this summer...thinking they were non-chlorine, so what did it matter? Had hazy water all summer, testing strips show perfect scores each time. We had a horrible storm last night, had added clarifier before bed...and this morning it is pea green! Never been like that before.

I am sure I created my own pea green water, but I am finally ready to convert. No telling how much $$$$ we have spent over the last 12 years!

Question now(sorry, thought you all needed background).....do you think the water will clear? I would think that coverting in the spring would make alot more sense. We will be done with the pool in about 4-6 weeks and I want to stretch out the time as long as possible, but is the water safe to swim in while green? Ugghhhhh, my husband is ready to take the pool down!

Suggestions???Much appreciated!

Will it clear with a bleach conversion? Absolutely. Go ahead and do it. I wouldn't swim in a green pool! YUCK!! If you're swim season is still 4-6 weeks and it takes maybe a week to convert, then you still have plenty of swim season left to enjoy a clear, sparkling pool. Go ahead and do it!
