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.

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.
