Baquacil to Chlorine conversion speed

[tmbier]

Thank you for your responses. I'm just getting back on after a busy weekend of swim meets, little league, church, friends, relaxing, etc.

After reading the posts, We've decide to hold off on the conversion until after our schedule settles down. This could be the wrong decision, but since we leave for a short vacation, I want to make sure the pool is at least stable. The filter needs new sand after less than one season, but it works. I'm hoping I don't come back to a pool full of algae and cloudy.

Something occured to me after reading that post.

I am wondering if allowing a Baquacil pool to have a green algae bloom would be a good thing before a conversion. Would the algae consume the baquacil or in some way lower the Baquacil PPM. making the conversion easier?

Not sure of the chemistry involved, but maybe someone else is.
