No, you should not mix chlorine with Baquacil as they are not compatible chemicals. Mixing them together can cause a chemical reaction that may produce harmful or toxic fumes, and could also reduce the effectiveness of both products in maintaining water quality. It's best to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for each product separately.
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.

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.

3 months...its not worth it! It should take only 2 or 3 days to treat chemically. Or you can dump the pool and refill, making sure to rid the filter of all baquacil mess as well (change cartridge, or change sand etc). e-mail me and I can send instructions re how to convert off baquacil.
Go to the site link bellow for a guide to converting from baquacil to chlorine. Keep in mind that if you have a sand filter you will have to also change the sand in it as it will harbor traces of baquacil.
