be sure to get a bunch of the disposable filters for it. You will need them as the conversion goos them up!

I can't believe that my level is 0. Where is the chlorine going???!!!
Added a gallon of bleach this morning, and will monitor it today.
Water is murky, pea green color.
I know you all talked about goop on the filter, but mine was just a gold color with no goop. I was glad, since on Baquacil my filter would clog in a few hours. But, does this mean not enough reaction is happening?
It's eating up the baquacil - keep dosing the pool with bleach - check it as often as you can, bring it back to shock levels and be consistant - the more consistant you are the faster your pool will clear. Good luck!

See? You didn't hurt your pool! You need to KEEP dosing it with bleach...though with a 3000 gallon popup, why didn't you just drain and refill, and then dose it with bleach?

I actually did drain some last night and put fresh. I just hated to put in all new water and wait for it to get warm again for my little ones. Plus, our first pop up pool this summer had a leak and we had to drain it and buy a new one, and we're using a ton of water on our yard, which was newly seeded.
In retrospect, draining might have been better! But I'm hopeful this small amount of water will work to our advantage and it will clear quickly.
Thanks for everyone's support!
