The only reason the pool would turn green would be if the Baquacil is not entirely out of the pool and it reacts with the Chlorine.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of baquicil?
I have been using Baquacil for 18 years in an in-ground pool. I used chlorine in an above ground pool prior. The cost difference is obvious. Starting off new, Baquacil is very expensive. As the years go on, the cost of the sanitizer drops dramatically because of the baquacil buildup in the water. You dont have the chlorine smell and the eye burning. I recommend washing the baquacil from your hair since the hair tends to get heavy after swimming. Foaming is also a problem with baquacil. I still prefer baquacil and intend to use it after I install a new liner next year.
Do you have more algae when using baquacil vs chlorine?
No. Actually it is more common to acquire algae in a Chlorine pool. The Baquacil Performance Algaecide is the strongest algaecide they make and very effective against killing algae. Maintaining the Oxidizer and Sanitizer readings do a great job of preventing algae where with a CL pool, in hot temps as soon as the CL reading drops below 1 the pool starts to turn green and the floors and walls feel slimy.

To get rid of algae in a Baquacil pool, the best thing to use is the Performance Algaecide. The algae will actually get worse if converting because you have to wait until the Baqua reading is at zero before converting which could take at least several days because the Oxidizer is designed to last for an entire month.
