    To convert to chlorine, just add bleach. Yes, your pool will initially turn all sorts of funky colors - greens instead of orange. But, after a few days, it will clear right up. Go and read through a lot of the old posts in the baq forum and you'll find step by step directions as well as a lot of success stories.

    That stuff he's trying to sell you is non-chlorine shock. You don't need it, if you're trying to convert to chlorine, then skip the non-chlorine stuff and use chlorine...bleach, like Watermom suggested.
