CONVERTING FROM BIGUANIDES (Soft Swim, Baquacil, Revacil, etc.) to Pristine Blue

For best results and economy, convert the pool to chlorine & operate as if on a chlorine regimen for about 2 weeks then proceed.

After converting to chlorine, use a granular chlorine such as Super Soluble, or Everyday Chlorinating Granules, until you’re ready to convert to Pristine Blue.

First Day                         Purchase PristineBlue Pool Products

  • Start with a clean pool.
     
  • KNOW THE POOL’S VOLUME.  Almost all “problem” arise from the fact that pool owners don’t know the proper gallonage of their pool.  Click here for our pool dimensions chart.
     
  • Make sure the water is in balance.  Water balance in a Pristine Blue pool is a little different than in most pools.  Maintain these Pristine Blue levels for the best in product effectiveness and efficiency.  The levels you need to attain are:
    pH - 7.2 to 7.6
    Total Alkalinity – 30 to 90 ppm (this is the most important difference)
    Calcium Hardness – 175 to 275 ppm
    BioGuard Water Balancers such as Balance Pak 100, 200 & 300, Lo ‘n Slo, and Optimizer Plus are 100% compatible with Pristine Blue.
     
  • DO NOT CONTINUE UNTIL THE WATER IS BALANCED!
     
  • Add 2 oz. Pristine Check per 1,000 gallons of water and allow to circulate for at least 4 to 6 hours (preferably overnight).
     
  • Run the filter continuously.

Second Day

  • Backwash filter or clean the cartridge(s).
     
  • Add 2 oz. Pristine Blue per 1,000 gallons water.

Important Note:  DO NOT ADD ANY PRISTINE BLUE FOR THE NEXT 2 (TWO) WEEKS.  MAINTAIN pH 7.2 TO 7.6.  After 2 weeks, check Pristine Blue level and top-up as needed.

Continue with regular Pristine Blue Maintenance.
