I just went through this conversion 2 1/2 weeks ago and I also was feeling like I would never see the bottom of my pool again.

my only suggestion for you is chlorine, chlorine, chlorine and trust in those of us that have gone through it. My 13500 gl pool took almost a week and 40 some gallons chlorine.

I am happy to say my pool has never looked better!

Good luck,
Leslie
