Is Baquacil Shock the same product as Baquacil Shock and Oxidizer?
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
When can you swim after putting baquacil oxidizer?
Some sources state that you can swim within fifteen minutes of adding baquacil to the pool. It is usually recommended however, to wait around an hour.
Is bromine the same as baquacil?
No, bromine is not the same as baquacil. Bromine is a chlorine alternative, probably more expensive, effective as a sanitizer. Can result in odors as with chlorine and there are arguements about its safety, health wise. No, Baquacil is Hydrogen Peroxide.
How do you start up a freshly filled pool with Baquacil?
Oxidizer, Metal Control (if needed), Sanitizer and Algistat, then Algaecide. Wait at least 1 hr btw adding products and always have filter running.
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?
Can you shock a pool that uses baquacil?
Yes, you can shock a pool that uses Baquacil, but it requires special attention. Standard chlorine shock treatments cannot be used, as they can react negatively with Baquacil, which is a non-chlorine sanitizer. Instead, you should use a non-chlorine shock specifically designed for Baquacil systems to effectively manage water clarity and sanitation without causing damage. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions when shocking a Baquacil pool.
What are baquacil do's and dont's?
A major DO for Baquacil is chemically cleaning the filter MONTHLY.
What can be used as a liquid oxidizer?
Liquid oxygen (LOX) is commonly used as a liquid oxidizer in rocket engines due to its high oxidizing potential and high density. Hydrogen peroxide is another liquid oxidizer used in some rocket engines and propulsion systems. Nitric acid is also used as a liquid oxidizer in certain applications.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of baquicil?
I have been using Baquacil for 18 years in an in-ground pool. I used chlorine in an above ground pool prior. The cost difference is obvious. Starting off new, Baquacil is very expensive. As the years go on, the cost of the sanitizer drops dramatically because of the baquacil buildup in the water. You dont have the chlorine smell and the eye burning. I recommend washing the baquacil from your hair since the hair tends to get heavy after swimming. Foaming is also a problem with baquacil. I still prefer baquacil and intend to use it after I install a new liner next year.
Where can you buy Baquacil?

Can i you use any floc in a baquacil pool?
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.
The pH on my pool is low and as I use baquacil what should I add to it?
You would be safest using Baquacil pH Increaser, which is a high purity, highly active dry alkaline product used to raise pool pH. In non-Baquacil pool water, both Soda Ash and Hydrochloric acid are used to raise pH levels. Pool shops are a good place to seek advice also.
