What are the advantages and disadvantages of baquicil?

I have been using Baquacil for 18 years in an in-ground pool. I used chlorine in an above ground pool prior. The cost difference is obvious. Starting off new, Baquacil is very expensive. As the years go on, the cost of the sanitizer drops dramatically because of the baquacil buildup in the water. You dont have the chlorine smell and the eye burning. I recommend washing the baquacil from your hair since the hair tends to get heavy after swimming. Foaming is also a problem with baquacil. I still prefer baquacil and intend to use it after I install a new liner next year.


Do i have to change water when going from chlorine tablets to baquacil product?

No, you do not have to change the water but you do need to wait until the CL reading is 0 before adding Baquacil or there will be a reaction and the water will turn green.
