Do you really want to do that?
Add more chlorine. More to it than that. Test & if necessary correct the pH first - that's important. Calculate correct dose rate of chlorine & add accordingly. If it's an outdoor pool switch to stabilised chlorine if not already using it.
Chlorine is an elemental gas. The only atoms in chlorine are CHLORINE. A molecule of chlorine contains two atoms of chlorine (Cl2 ; Cl - Cl) Chlorine is found in the Periodic Table.
Chlorine is a gas
Yes. It is a compound of chlorine and oxygen.
A Chlorine Analyzer analyzes free chlorine or total chlorine in water to monitor chlorine dosage. It is frequently used in water and waste water plants to control chlorine dosage.
You do not measure the Chlorine in a Baquacil pool because they are incompatible.
Baquacil is completely imcompatible with Chlorine and usually the water will instantly turn green, you can use the Baquacil Chlorine Neutralizer to help disepate the CL out.
That means Chlorine was added before the Baquacil readings had reached zero.
No, bromine is not the same as baquacil. Bromine is a chlorine alternative, probably more expensive, effective as a sanitizer. Can result in odors as with chlorine and there are arguements about its safety, health wise. No, Baquacil is Hydrogen Peroxide.
Go to the site link bellow for a guide to converting from baquacil to chlorine. Keep in mind that if you have a sand filter you will have to also change the sand in it as it will harbor traces of baquacil.
The only reason the pool would turn green would be if the Baquacil is not entirely out of the pool and it reacts with the Chlorine.
Chlorine is not compatible with baquacil. Nor is the saline (salt) system. For info on how to convert off baquacil e-mail me and I will reply with instructions.
Baquacil makes a product called Chlorine Neurtalizer that can be used to remove the Chlorine, it may take several days for the green to filter through.
i am no sure what it is
Just winterize it as usual. In the spring, drain the sucker and refill it. The conversion isn't worth the hassle.
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.
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.
