I am one of the many newbie's that posted about my converging.
1st night 7 gallons of liquid chlorine,2nd 7 gallons,3rd 6 gallons, 4th 6 gallons,
5th 6 gallons, 6th 6 gallons. 7th day pool was clear, swam in it that evening.
Everyday we brushed and backflushed many times, and changed the sand in filter. In my post I was asking for words of encouragment. It wasn't looking good. Now my pool sparkles and shines. Good luck to you their is light at the end of the tunnel.

Ok I DID IT !!!! Or should I say WE did it, couldn't have done it without all your help. Thanks so much ! My pool is soooooooooooooo clear ! It took about 4 days but it all worked out great, should have done it sooner. Still working on keeping that chlorine level up, but it's working. My sister said I need to hang a sock with a stablizer in it. Is this true ? Or what should I use. Thanks again guys for all the guidence.

Don't hang the sock with stabilizer in it until your conversion is complete--you want the Cl to be maximum effective against the Baq. When you're no long losing Chlorine overnight, then change your filter media, and THEN hang your stabilizer sock.

Thanks yet again... will wait a day or two then change out my sand filter.....Which brings up another question > The pool clerk told me to change over to this other filter filler other then the sand ( sorry not sure of the name ) he said it cleans much better. Any truth ??? Pros & cons.
Thanks again !

Don't know--I'd need to know the name of the filler!
