Naturally, you can always get more information from our sales staff about the conversion process.
How to Convert to the BAQUACIL CDX System:
1. Perform any necessary filter maintenance
- Cartridge filters – Chemically clean the cartridge with Universal Filter Cleaner or replace the cartridge
- D.E. filters – Chemically clean the filter elements with Universal Filter Cleaner
- Sand filters – Replace the sand in the filter
2. Take a pool water sample to our local store for a complete analysis. If we find that your pool water contains metals, add Metal Control as follows: For every 2 ppm of metals present and for every 10,000 gallons of water, use 1 bottle (1 1/4 lb.). Allow the water to circulate for 8-12 continuous hours.
3. Add Swimming Pool Sanitizer and Algistat to the pool to achieve a 50 ppm level. See chart below for dosing instructions.
4. Add the start-up dose of Oxidizer in front of skimmer. See Start-Up Dosage chart below.
5. Add the start-up dose of CDX product directly into skimmer. See Start-Up Dosage chart below.
6. Begin twice weekly routine pool care. Refer to the BAQUACIL Pool Care Guide for further details.
