It,s easy. Just Shock your pool with a chlorine shock and then make sure the chlorine level is where you need it to be. It, more involved if you go from Chlorine to Bacqucil. but why would you want to Bacqucil is so much nicer and easier.

Can I Mix salt in a chlorine pool?

Yes, you can add salt to a chlorine pool to create a saltwater pool system. This salt is converted into chlorine through the process of electrolysis, providing a more natural and softer water experience compared to traditional chlorine pools. Be sure to follow manufacturer instructions for the appropriate salt levels and use a saltwater generator to convert the salt into chlorine.

How do you convert from chlorine to bacqucil and does this require changing equipment and is there any benefit to doing so?

Baquacil is a non-chlorine alternative used to sanitize pools or hot tubs, maybe both. I'm not sure how to answer your question, but I bet you can find the answers at http://www.baquacil.com/default.asp . Good idea to ask your pool person too.

How do you convert choline pool to a salt pool and what will my cost likely be?

You don't convert a chlorine pool to salt pool. Chlorine generators use salt to make chlorine in your pool. Therefore a salt water pool is a chlorine pool, you are just introducing the chlorine to the water a different way. The cost is based on the price of the chlorine generator you buy and the amount of salt required for the number of gallons in your pool. If you buy a system from the internet and install it yourself, a typical model for a 25,000 gallon pool is about $1,000. However, this generally means no warranty as the "proper installation" caveat may apply. Purchasing the same model from a local dealer, installed, should run in the neighborhood of $1,500. This will get you a professional job and a full warranty. POOL_N_SPA_WAREHOUSE


Why do you need a chlorine generator?

If you have a salt water pool then the chlorine generator is there to convert the salt into chlorine to keep up the chlorine content of the pool. However if you don't have one of these or it is broken down you can always add chlorine directly to make up the shortfall until the necessary repairs are done.


How do you convert from Bacqucil to Chlorine?

Make sure that you change all filters when you make the transistion. If you are using a sand filter make sure that you change the sand in it. If you don't you will have a m-ess that looks like foam from the sea. I have done this and I know...this happened to me... You have to make sure that you get all of the non chlorine product out of all of the filtering aspects.


How do you convert from baquacil to chorline?

To convert from Baquacil (a brand of Biguanide) to chlorine for pool sanitation, you'll need to first completely remove Baquacil from the pool. This typically involves draining a significant portion of the water, cleaning the pool surfaces, and then refilling with fresh water. After refilling, you can add a chlorine shock treatment to establish a chlorine baseline. It's essential to test the water and balance the pH and alkalinity before introducing regular chlorine sanitizers.

Will switching from chlorine chemical system to a salt water system ruin pool?

No A salt water pool is in fact also chlorine pool, the difference being that with a salt water pool a salt water chlorinator converts the salt that is in the water into chlorine gas which is then dissolved into the water while the filter is running. the conversion wont have any adverse effects on the pool.
