Hello all - I was so excited when I found this site yesterday. This is the 4th season for our pool. We've been on Baquacil since day one. The first 2 years our pool was just fine - no problems at all w/Baquacil. Last year we battled algae and finally gave up. Our pool goes from one shade of green to another and we've tried everything recommended by Baquacil. We're finally waving the white flag and want to convert to chlorine but I don't know where to start. I read here that I need to start dumping in a lot of unscented chlorine - where do I find it? I tried to order the drop kit you've all recommended on this site but it's not available until the end of May and we want to get going on this now. Should I buy a test kit at a local pool store? Should I mix chlorine in a bucket of my pool water and see how it reacts? Where do I start?

Our pool is in-ground, pebble tec surface and about 13k gallons.

Thanks so much
