Opening after winter and converting to BBB questions

When you are done, break down and clean your sand filter and REPLACE THE SAND! Sand is cheap enough and it will be all gummed up by the Baq.

Thanks guys. (whoops, and girl )

One other question, I have access to 20% Sodium Hypochlorite from work, would that be too strong for the vinyl liner?

Temps finallly broken into the upper 70's today, the wife and I are getting excited to open it up.

I'm thinking I'll use a weeks vacation from work to convert, and finish the landscaping around the pool and deck, so I can stay on top of it and get it done quickly.

You can always dilute it. Take a 5 gallon bucket and if you put 3 gallons of water in it, then add one gallon of 20%, you'll have 5%--same as laundry bleach--and the 4 gallons will be like adding 4 gallons of bleach.

But be very, very careful. 20% is tricky stuff, will burn you, burn through clothes and shoes in an instant. Even nominal 12% (tests at 14-14.5) can damage anything it touches. BTW, 1 ml of your chlorine in 10 liters of water is the same concentration as in a pool and allows you to measure its strength. (10 liters is 5 soda bottles).
