[duraleigh]

You must keep your Cl high, test and add bleach frequently, run the pump 24/7, and then add the last ingredient........POP (pool owner patience)

Hey guys!
I have read off and on all day. Posted on another topic about conversion and watermom responded so quickly. SO thankful for that! I want to convert... the pool, after adding baqua clarifier last night is a clear green. No kidding. The Ph is slightly low, but I have added increaser. All other levels test fine. I must admit, I got in and floated...high in the 90's today! Couldn't help myself

I am trying to hold out until opening next spring to convert. I cannot find any information anywhere about what I should do next with Baquacil. I still have clarifier, etc....but the guy around here that sells it doesn't have a clue.

Part of me wants to go grab as many cases of chlorine from Sam's as possible and go for it, but my hubby is not sure that is the way for us to go so late in the season. School starts in two weeks, so swimming season will mostly be weekends for the next 4 weeks or so before closing. We want to squeeze out what we can, even if green...if it is at least ok to be in....

Just not sure what is best............conversion time or wait?
Many thanks! And good luck to chlorine bound!

Woke up and went to see pool. test. and its still ugly???????I tested water and Chlorine is up PH is down....I am getting very discouraged I am going to send wife to pool store to see TROLL for a complete reading.....I have to work.Did you tell me not to mess with PH yet????Untill its clear.

As long as pH is above 7.0, don't worry. Otherwise, add 20 Mule Team Borax to raise it. I suspect you need to keep your pool solidly at 15ppm, and not let it drop to 10.

Your troll may sell 5 gallon carboys of 12.5% liquid chlorine. If you get one, you'll need to give him a deposit on the carboy, and buy a spigot for it while you are at it. This will allow you to add the equiv of 10 gallons of 6% bleach, and you bring the container back for an exchange.

How much borax? TROLL doesnt sell Liquid...I have been using ultra from Wal Mart...Does alkalinity do anything at this stage....should I have a certain level????Thanks
