Yes you can. Start with 1/4 the normal amount that a salt pool would use.
You shouldn't have a problem. You will have to check and maintain the chlorine level at least weekly.
Will you know how to maintain the salt generator. Read ALL material - manuals, instructions, dealers recommendations and know how to react to situations that arrise.
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?
To make your pool saline and not chlorine, you would install a saltwater chlorinator system. This system uses salt to produce chlorine through the process of electrolysis, eliminating the need to manually add chlorine to the pool. Saltwater pools are often preferred for their milder chlorine levels and potential cost savings in the long run.
Chlorine is not compatible with baquacil. Nor is the saline (salt) system. For info on how to convert off baquacil e-mail me and I will reply with instructions.
I assume by 'floaters' you mean chlorine tablet floaters, and not the floaters the kids produce. either way, I agree they are worrisome. A Saline (salt water0 system will solve your problem. Without doubt the safest and best way to purify pools with kids in. The sanitizer (or chlorine) is produced near the filter from the pure natural 'salt' dissolved in the pool water. The pool water will be perfectly healthy without you having to add chlorine floater or any other form of chlorine to the pool. No algaecides or 'shock' chemicals either.
Yes, the chlorine in pools dries out your hair. Try swimming in a saline pool or out in the ocean.
He should pay to have the pool emptied, cleaned and refilled with the saline. That is what he is responsible for if he made the mistake. The owner could take him to court over it and win.
Well, saline is almost totally water, so... 1000 ml = 1kg of water 1 kg = 2.2 lbs so 1000/2.2 = ~454 ml.
Flush the area thoroughly with either distilled water or saline, then pat dry the area.
Some methods are: - measuring the density - using a salinometer - chemical determination of sodium, chlorine or sodium chloride
The advantage offered by most 'alternatives' is that they, at best, reduce the amount of chlorine you need to add. The only alternative which does the entire job on its own is the Saline (salt) System and although it produces 'chlorine' (from salt dissolved in the pool water) it results in NONE of the obnoxious features attributed to chlorine - no skin irritations, no chlorine odors, no red eyes, no hair damage. A saline pool does not need 'shock' chemicals nor does it require algaecides. Whatever you do, don't get sucked into believing that baquacil is a good alternative.
