The main consideration when moving away from Baquacil is to determine how much (if any) Baquacil is still left in the water (and be sure to not add any more at this point). If it is still at too high of levels, any chlorine that is added to the water (including what is generated by a salt chlorinator) will cause a brown tinting effect. A good way to test that would be to get a white 5 gallon bucket, and a bit of liquid or granular chlorine and check for any reaction. If too much Baquacil is present, my understanding is it can be lowered using non-chlorine shock; if you search online for “converting from baquacil pool to chlorine” you’ll find many well documented instructions.
