How do you measure the chlorine in a baquacil pool?

To measure chlorine in a Baquacil pool, you can use a test kit specifically designed for non-chlorine pools. These kits typically test for the sanitizer levels in Baquacil pools, such as hydrogen peroxide and peroxide-based products. Follow the instructions on the test kit to accurately measure the sanitizer levels in your Baquacil pool.


How do you clear up the chemical reaction caused when mixing baquacil and chlorine shock?

To clear up a chemical reaction caused by mixing Baquacil and chlorine shock, immediately ventilate the area, evacuate if necessary, and avoid inhaling the fumes. Flush the affected area with water to dilute the chemicals, and seek medical attention if you experience irritation or symptoms of exposure. It's important to never mix Baquacil and chlorine shock as they can react and release harmful gases.


Is bromine the same as baquacil?

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.


How long do you have to wait to change from baquacil to chlorine?

I would like to convert to chlorine. Can you post the instuctions here? Wait for what? As soon as you have made your mind up to change, just do it. The baquacil won't go away on its own.

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.


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.


If you start using chlorine where once you had Bacquacil what does it do?

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.
