    Exclamation Re: Help! Yes, "another" Baquacil " User !

    Thank you, Thank you for your replies...

    Just another question.... How many bottles of Bleach at a time, Where to add ( new pool & liner ), how much is too much in a day & how many gallons of bleach (guess) do you think we are looking at to complete & days? Oh and should I clean & brush pool after I add each dose of Bleach ? I do know to backwash a few times a day & am getting a test kit today. Thanks again so much for your time. It's nice to know I'm not alone ! lol

    To my knowledge, as many as it takes to get your chlorine up to 15 ppm. Check out the other conversion threads to see how much others have needed. It will be a lot. If you have not already, download BleachCalc to help you determine how much is needed. Keep in mind that the Baqua will devour the chlorine rapidly at first. Get BleachCalc 2.6.2 here:http://home.earthlink.net/~mwsmith70...achCalc262.exe

    Where to add ( new pool & liner ),

    in front of the return jet. It will disperse throughout your pool.

    how much is too much in a day

    I cannot for sure answer this one, but I think that unless you go over 15ppm, there is no such thing as too much.

    & how many gallons of bleach (guess) do you think we are looking at to complete & days?

    Don't know. It depends on how much Baqua you still have in your pool and some other factors.

    Oh and should I clean & brush pool after I add each dose of Bleach ?

    Don't know

    I do know to backwash a few times a day & am getting a test kit today.

    Test frequently and add bleach to keep your Chlorine at 15ppm, several times a day, preferably. Backwash as your pressure increase indicates

    Thanks again so much for your time. It's nice to know I'm not alone ! lol
    You're welcome!
