How do you start up a freshly filled pool with Baquacil?
Oxidizer, Metal Control (if needed), Sanitizer and Algistat, then Algaecide. Wait at least 1 hr btw adding products and always have filter running.
How do you measure the chlorine in a baquacil pool?
You do not measure the Chlorine in a Baquacil pool because they are incompatible.
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.
Where can you buy Baquacil?
Baquacil pool care systems try following the link below
Can you use cholorine in a baquacil pool?
Baquacil and Chlorine are not compatible and if added will turn the water green and throw off all of the other readings. The product that can be used to fix this is called Baquacil Chlorine Neutralizer. You also have to change the sand in your pump, or it will gum up
Why does your pool turn green now that you switched from baquacil to chlorine?
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.
Foam in a baquacil pool?
Foam in a pool that uses Baquacil can have a leak in return hose. It can also be the result of putting too much product in the pool. You should check the chemical levels in the pool.
Will SoftSwim by Baquacil harm a plaster pool?
No
What is the rust color dust in your baquacil pool?
Algae
When your pool water gets out of balance when using Baquacil do you have go the pool center or can you adjust it yourself?
If you have Baquacil Test Strips then going to the Pool Center would not be necessary, you can just do it yourself and adjust the readings.
Do you have more algae when using baquacil vs chlorine?
No. Actually it is more common to acquire algae in a Chlorine pool. The Baquacil Performance Algaecide is the strongest algaecide they make and very effective against killing algae. Maintaining the Oxidizer and Sanitizer readings do a great job of preventing algae where with a CL pool, in hot temps as soon as the CL reading drops below 1 the pool starts to turn green and the floors and walls feel slimy.
Why does your pool turn green 3 days after chemicals have been added?
water chemistry effects sanitizer level- adding water dilutes sanitizer level - rain dilutes plus puts enviromental pollution into the pool - your swim load affects sanitizer level - your water temperature (Warm) and the Sun can burn out the sanitizer level- was the filter running was the pool crystal clear what type of filter do you have? To many variables, take a pool water sample to your nearest dealer and discuss your problem with them so they can properly diagnose your pool
