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. Nor will the slime and gunk it leaves in your filter. For instructions as to how to convert from baqucil to chlorine, or saline system - e-mail me and I will send by attachment.

∙ 15y agoThis is an involved process here is a simple overview. The Sanitizer level has to be down to 15ppm or less so wait for the level to drop on its own before proceeding. Once the level is at 15ppm add 2 pounds of Potassium Monopersulfate per 10,000 gallons of pool water each day for 3 days. Then have the water rechecked the level should be below 15ppm. Next shock the pool with 2 pounds of 65% available Calcium Hypochlorite. Mix this 1-pound at a time in a plastic bucket and pour the liquid into the pool. Do not let any granular get into the pool, only the liquid. The pool Will turn green, but should go back to blue after 24 hours. After 24 hours if you have a sand filter change the sand in the filter. If you have a DE or cartridge filter clean the grids or filter cartridge in a solution for cleaning baquacil filters. You may now start using chlorine. Keep in mind that for the next several shock treatments the pool will turn green and then go back to blue.

It really doesn't matter how long you wait because chlorine is bad no matter how long you wait. It helps a little if you wet your hair with fresh water before swimming, also put a leave-in conditioner on before you swim, this way your hair won't absorb as much chlorine.

How do you remove chlorine from city water?
Use the pool. Throw the kids and the dog into the pool, that'll use up plenty of chlorine. If the chlorine level is too high (over 10ppm or so) there is a chemical you can buy at yoiur local pool store to reduce it (I forget the name of it) but if you can, just wait, use the pool as much as you can, let the sun and natural process work and the level will come down. Here are couple practical solutions: 1. Wait for a couple of days and let the chlorine level return to normal on its own. Be sure to take your solar blanket off as sunlight will help break down the chlorine (especially if you used non-stabilized shock). 2. Use a chlorine reducing agent. They are usually called "After Shock" or something similar. These chemicals are available at your local pool supply store and are usually based on some formulation of sodium thiosulfate. The use of Sodium Thiosulphate can turn your pool water a pale green for a long time after adding it. A very small amount goes a long way. Better not to use and do the wait game. The green tint is not algae.

How do you convert from baquacil to chlorine if algae is present in the pool?
To get rid of algae in a Baquacil pool, the best thing to use is the Performance Algaecide. The algae will actually get worse if converting because you have to wait until the Baqua reading is at zero before converting which could take at least several days because the Oxidizer is designed to last for an entire month. I can send you instructions by e-mail re converting from baquacil to chlorine and/or the saline system. E-mail me. What is your email address?

How do you switch from Baquacil to chlorine without draining the pool?
If you read the directions from baquacil you will find that yes you can indeed change from baquacil to chlorine. It is extremely important that you use up all the baquacil product and eliminate it from your pool prior to adding the chlorine. I have successful changed over two different systems and chlorine is much less expensive.

I'm not sure what you mean. If your qeustion is how long do you have to wait to swim after adding chlorine, it really depends. If you're adding chlorine to bring the level up to 2.0 or 3.0ppm, then wait minimum 1 hour before swimming, and be sure the filter is on.
