What exactly is Baquacil?
|
I really don't know what I'm talking about (what's new), but my understanding is that Baquacil is a non-chlorine pool system. It includes shock, santizer and algicide products. It's great as long as you have no problems, other than it's pretty expensive.

We have a salt-water pool and it's very cheap to maintain. Buy a 40 lb. bag of salt at Home Depot for 4 bucks, and throw it in when the levels get low. Easy, and much easier on skin/eyes, etc...

I really haven't heard anything about a salt-water pool, but I really like the cost. You just poor salt in?
Does it work as the shock or sanitizer?

Used baquicil for 3 years and averaged $350.00- $500.00 a year... $30.00 just to schock the pool... When I had trouble (pink slime) it took for ever to clear up. It does work okay, but cost was a concern... I ordered $150.00 worth of chlorine chemicals and that's more than enough for the whole year... Really haven't noticed anymore fading in the liner or in swimsuits.... And a bottle of lotion for dry skin is only a couple bucks.....

Is it hard to convert to chlorine? My husband wanted to convert 2 years ago, but I listened to the salesman...now I'm gonna listen to people without an agenda!
Thanks everyone!
