Converting from Natures 2 to Bleach, Borax & Baking Soda

[medvampire]

I did some research in to the N2 system. I don’t feel it would hurt to leave in for the season but I wouldn’t be out the cost of replacement for next year. I would pull the cartage at the end of the season. I pulled mine and tossed it after about a month but that was a personal decision. The system will work with the N2 in place but I wouldn’t use the 0.5 ppm chlorine level suggested but Zodiac. I would follow Bens best guess chart for chlorine level. I would be cautious if you have already have metals in your water. I would also caution use of any copper based algaecide. The main thing I would follow the advice of the pros here they do know their stuff.

No problems using N2 with bbb, although, I highly recommend tossing it after this season since it is a big cash grab, using the bbb method, you will spend 50% of what a cartrige costs over 1 season, and that does not include the other chemicals you would still need to use along side the N2.
N2 is really just supposed to let you run your pool on lower chlorine levels by using silver and copper as an anti algae supplement, but for what it costs, it's just not worth it.
