intial chlorine use in baquapure filtration system

[pool newby]

This pump/filter combo was in the package for my recently purchased agp. I have decided I would rather use chlorine than baquacil at initial startup.This filter has an inline water polisher which uses 3" baquapure tabs, and documentation from the pool store where purchased says it can also take Leisure chlorine tabs. My question is, this "water polisher" is basically an inline automatc chlorinator, right? , so , why did it specify that it could onlyuse Leisure chlorine tablets, wouldn't any other brand of 3 " tablets work?

responses appreciated.

I have just purchased the same thing. I have a baquapure filteration system and have the same question. I'm filling my pool now. So I haven't even turned on the system yet. Sharon

Who did you get your pool from. I just wonder if you have the same one I do. I have a centurion 33' x 52". Please if you find out anything that will help me understand this system better, please post it. Thanks, Sharon

Newby and Sharon,

Do everything in your power to stay away from baquicil. You can easily use chlorine and can use any chlorine tab that will fit in the chlorinator. (tabs have some other issues but disregard that for now)

I suggest that you read the sticky posted by CarlD posted near the top of the forum in which you posted. That'll lead to more questions but we will be glad to help you with the answers. Read everything you can on the whole forum...especially the stickys....and ask questions.

Sharon,

I got my pool (18'x 52) from rec warehouse. I found out today from the installer that you can certainly use any 3 inch chlorine tablet in the baquapure feeder, as long as you don't start one and mix in the other with out doing the complete conversion. There is a removable plastic screen with a long tube inside the feeder, that is used for the baquapure tablets. You simply take that out and fill it with 3 inch stabilized cl tablets, (brand of your choice), and your off and running with chlorine. I'm still trying to find a complete guide the chlorine use, but pretty much have the basics down for now.

I purchased mine from Rec Warehouse here in Florida. So far I'm pleased. I just don't want any baqua junk. Sharon
