Baquacil reacts with iron the same way a Chlorine pool would. Most times the water will turn either brown or green and the product to clear it up is the Baquacil Metal Control which will filter them through. It is best to check your filter during this time and hose it off if needed because the filter will look like it has rust in it.

I cannot answer your specific question re iron - but considering the other features of baquacil, such as 'it eats plastic', 'it results in what is known as pink slime', it would not surprise me i the reaction was 'bad'. Biased? You may say that, but believe me, I have never seen a baqucil pool with truly clear water and I have spoken with many pool owners who have grown to hate the product, its performance and its cost.

Can you shock a pool that uses baquacil?

Yes, you can shock a pool that uses Baquacil, but it requires special attention. Standard chlorine shock treatments cannot be used, as they can react negatively with Baquacil, which is a non-chlorine sanitizer. Instead, you should use a non-chlorine shock specifically designed for Baquacil systems to effectively manage water clarity and sanitation without causing damage. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions when shocking a Baquacil pool.

Can i you use any floc in a baquacil pool?

No, you should not use any flocculants (flocs) in a Baquacil pool, as they can interfere with the Baquacil system and lead to cloudy water or other issues. Baquacil is a hydrogen peroxide-based sanitizer, and using incompatible products can disrupt the chemical balance. For best results, stick to Baquacil-approved products and follow the manufacturer's guidelines for water treatment.
