starting conversion ???

When you can shock at night and have pretty much the same chlorine level the next morning, you are home free. After your conversion, you'll need to change your filter media.

glad to here from u:
Iknow about the filter change, any insight about the next step for chemicals, its cold right now 50 i didnt think it would clear so fast, so to keep it clear thats all about chorine, right also with the other stuff.

After you get to the point where you are no longer losing chlorine overnight, you'll need to post current water testing results. Ph, Alk, cl. Obviously, you won't have any cya yet. That will be something you'll need to add. Post some current numbers and somebody can help you.

Yes, you want it back up to 15, and keep it there until it's still at the 15 throughout the night and into the morning. Hang in there, you're almost there!!

Yes, you still either have some Baq or something else trying to grow in the pool...that's why your chlorine keeps dropping. Get some more bleach, keep shocking until your Cl level holds steady overnight.
