Schiro,
I hate to see another person spend a ton of money on baquacil just because the installers (ie; pool store) started them on baquacil. I had my pool installed last April and stumbled across this website in desperation sometime in late May. Like you, I was determined to give Baq a try. I spent close to $600 in three months using Baq as the pool store recommended each time I carried in a sample. I was spending HOURS each and every day cleaning the pool and adjusting chemicals in an attempt to clear my water. You would not believe how attentive I was. Finally, in early July, broke and frustrated, I converted with the help of the knowledgable people here.

I have no financial interest in Ben's kit or chlorine. However, I can honestly say, the kit was the best purchase I ever made and swapping to chlorine has saved me tons of money and time. Now I spend less than $3 per week on chemicals. I spend less time in a week cleaning the pool than I spent in a single day on Baq. My Baq pool was NEVER as clear as my chlorine pool.

Give it a try if you must, but don't sink a bundle into trying to prove Baq will work. If it's not working in a month, chances are, it isn't going to get better.

good luck!
