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.
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.
3 months...its not worth it! It should take only 2 or 3 days to treat chemically. Or you can dump the pool and refill, making sure to rid the filter of all baquacil mess as well (change cartridge, or change sand etc). e-mail me and I can send instructions re how to convert off baquacil.
A major DO for Baquacil is chemically cleaning the filter MONTHLY.
No it does not

Yes, "Baquashock", "Baquacil Shock", and "Baquacil Shock and Oxidizer" are all synonymous. Baquacil has been changing the names through the evolution but it's the same product. Most companies are now selling it as "Oxidizer (Shock)" - http://www.backyardexpress.com/baquaspa-oxidizer-shock.html
You first have to convert the pool to a chlorine system As a salt water system is a chlorine system.
No, you should not use any flocculants (flocs) in a Baquacil pool, as they can interfere with the Baquacil system and lead to cloudy water or other issues. Baquacil is a hydrogen peroxide-based sanitizer, and using incompatible products can disrupt the chemical balance. For best results, stick to Baquacil-approved products and follow the manufacturer's guidelines for water treatment.

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.
Go to the site link bellow for a guide to converting from baquacil to chlorine. Keep in mind that if you have a sand filter you will have to also change the sand in it as it will harbor traces of baquacil.
That means Chlorine was added before the Baquacil readings had reached zero.
