Update: He said it is iron free water from the truck.

I'll try to find out. I probably won't hear back until at least Monday. Thanks for all the info!

I think it took about a week to fill the pool with hose water (not filtered) last year. I have no idea about the water table. I asked for a quote and they told me $1500. Apparently they do 10,000 gallons per truck and $400 per truck, but they have a coupon going, so it's be $1500 instead of...

That's good to know. I wasn't sure if having half as much iron would be good enough to help with the issues. Do you think the filter rental sounds like a decent option for the refill? I need to take a water sample for them to test and I can ask them for more details, but we're currently under...

I forgot to say that I did the ascorbic acid treatment (except I used citric acid) before the Metal Magic last year. My pool is not filled currently, so I can't turn the pump on to do that treatment at the moment. I'm currently draining rain/snow water off of the winter cover, so I haven't been...

I've been battling iron in the water the whole time I've lived here with this pool. I don't have a reading on the amount of iron, but I can tell it's pretty high. I'm on city water, but the source is apparently wells. My house was also built in the 50's, so maybe my pipes are adding to the...

Alright. Yeah, the only time I had to do it last year was when I was closing the pool. I'll keep backwashing. The water is blue, but not clear. Most of the dirtiness is at the bottom, but some of it is suspended in the water. It's mostly brown stuff that came from the trees (not sure what to...

I backwashed it and the psi went down to 21, which is where the previous owners had it marked as the number it runs at when it's clean. Everything did work, so I guess it was either clogged or really got that dirty that quick. I poured in some more DE, put the pool robot in the pool, skimmed for...

Okay, I'll do that. PSI is around 27.
