Converting Your Pool to a BAQUACIL POOL
WHEN STARTING A PLASTER POOL ON BAQUACIL
It is important to eliminate potentially damaging traces of metals from the pool water. Use Baquacil Metal Control after the chlorine is neutralized and before you add Baquacil Sanitizer and Algistat to the pool. All plaster pools must be treated with Baquacil Metal Control regardless of metal analysis results. Plaster pools are particularly susceptible to scale buildup and metal staining on the surface as a result of continued exposure to improperly balanced water. The scale may appear as rough patches on the plaster surface and may vary in color. If you see existing metal stain discoloration, do not convert to Baquacil unless the pool surface is properly treated (acid washing, sand-blasting, etc.) to remove the accumulated deposits. For further assistance, see your Authorized Baquacil Dealer.
NOTE: Since trace metals are commonly found in water sources, add Baquacil Metal Control at the rate of 1 bottle (1-1/4 pounds) for every 10,000 gallons whenever significant amounts of makeup water are added to the pool.
1) Add the start-up dose of Baquacil Sanitizer And Algistat. (To view the start -up-dosage chart Click Here)
2) Add the start-up-dose of baquacil algicide. See the Start-Up Dosage chart. For Pools that have an attached spa or water feature, add an initial dose [6-11 oz. per 10,000 gallons] of Baquacil Performance algicide instead of Baquacil Algicide.
3) Allow the pool filter to run continuously for 24-48 hours.
4) Use the Baquacil Test Strip to check the Baquacil Sanitizer and Algistat and pH levels, making adjustments as necessary. (To view Test Strip Tips Click Here).
IMPORTANT:
Baquacil Sanitizer and Algistat is a unique swimming pool sanitizer which may not be compatible with some of the chemicals you have been using. See the "Other Chemicals section by Clicking Here. Consult your Authorized Baquacil Dealer before adding supplemental chemicals. DO NOT USE BAQUACIL SANITIZER AND AGISTAT in unpainted/unsurfaced plaster pools with pre-existing metal stains without taking proper remedial actions first.
Do not use Baquacil Sanitizer and Algistat in freestanding spas or hot tubes.
NOTE: After the addition of Baquacil Sanitizer and Algistat, the water may become hazy. This haze should clear within 24-48 hours with continuous filtration.
