Baquacil to Bleach conversion (help needed)

[revhendrix]

Thanks for the replies...this website has definately helped me from filling my pool with sand (I'd have the nicest sandbox in the neighborhood!).

Anyway, we do have a decent test kit. It's a Taylor complete DPD test. Although we have to dilute (only up to 5ppm), I'm certain it's faily accurate.

I took a water sample to the pool store (close to my office) out of curiosity to see how accurate my tests were. I left without buying a thing because I wanted to consult this forum and run another test. I just couldn't believe that I was that far off.

When I got home at lunch, I ran another FC and ph test and they seem fine. FC was at 7.5 ppm (I added 2.5gal of Clorox to get the levels back up) and the Ph was at 7.4. I'm not sure what the pool guy was thinking...do they even have Ph levels that high?? Maybe he was really trying to "Pool store" me.

Thanks again and keep the advise coming.
