Baquacil and Chlorine are not compatible and if added will turn the water green and throw off all of the other readings. The product that can be used to fix this is called Baquacil Chlorine Neutralizer. You also have to change the sand in your pump, or it will gum up
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.
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.
There really should not be too much of a problem when switching from CL to Baquacil. You just have to wait until the CL reading is down to zero and then start adding the products. The sun disepates the CL so quickly it should only take a couple days at most.
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.

The only reason the pool would turn green would be if the Baquacil is not entirely out of the pool and it reacts with the Chlorine.
Foam in a pool that uses Baquacil can have a leak in return hose. It can also be the result of putting too much product in the pool. You should check the chemical levels in the pool.
cholorine
No
Not recommended, Baquacil is a swimming pool, hydrogen peroxide (Potassium) based chemical. Baqua Spa is the recommended (Potassium) based spa chemical.
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.
