Baquacil® pools will not tolerate the introduction of other chemicals, the
Power Ionizer or alternative sanitizing without first performing a complete
conversion process.
To convert your Baquacil® sanitized pool to the Power Ionizer, please:
1. Cease the addition of ALL Baquacil® type products to your pool.
2. Do not add any chemical products to your pool for 48-72 hours and allow
your filter system to circulate the water adequately.
3. Adjust the pH to 6.8 to 7.0.
4. Add 4 pounds of potassium Monopersulfate per 10,000 gallons of pool
water.
5. Filter continuously for 48 hours. Monitor filter pressure closely and
backwash filter when necessary. NOTE: During this period, the water may form
a clear, green jello-like appearance or turn into a murky green with a tan
precipitate. DO NOT PANIC! This is normal during the conversion process.
6. Adjust your pH up to 7.2 to 7.6 and begin shocking the pool daily with 3
pounds of Lithium Hypochlorite per 10,000 gallons.
7. Run the filter at least 12 hours a day and maintain pH at 7.2 to 7.6.
Daily shocking may be required for 7 to 14 days to restore clear, blue color
to water.
8. When conversion is complete, re-balance the pH, alkalinity and calcium
levels of your pool water.
9. Once you have completed the above steps, please follow the "Getting
Started" section.
