Re: trying de...how long & what next to clear?? after metal repairs and stain remova Thanks it seems that a little under 1/4 cup does the trick to move 1to 2 psi. Someone suggested my filter was channeled days ago and I didn't see how it could have been but it must have been. Because...

Re: trying de...how long & what next to clear?? after metal repairs and stain remova Yes good advice way too much de.... I back flushed and added 1/2 cup....pressure jumped from 12 to 17... So I was way off on my estimate that pool has turned over. I didn't realize filter pressure at 22psi...

Re: trying de...how long & what next to clear?? after metal repairs and stain remova Well that person did sequester the metals and seem to remove something using sock but I did not see that there were any clarity issues when that person started, only staining. Also I didn't see that they...

OK I gave in and tried de after waiting another day since partial drain /fill. The pressure went from 12 to 22 using 1 cup...I'm gonna let it run all night and pray it works. Water is perfect except cya which is low because I drained a couple feet and filled. I repaired skimmer and stairs...

I dropped the water lvl to below 2nd step scrubbed the stairs returns and skimmer with diluted pinks and everything is bright white again. I repaired a hole in stairs where rust was entering water and repaired the skimmer basket where rust was entering pool.. Now leaks sealed and water level is...

Awesome. Thank you very much. I suspected but was really hoping you all would confirm. The fill water surely has small amounts of iron that have accumulated but I think my real iron build up is from magnolia and maple leaves. I read that iron deficiency causes light yellow magnolia leaves...

I may have answered my own question here...copper stains will NOT lift using vitamin c tabs. Is that correct? The stain lifted easily so its iron as my main problem. Then copper is causing the green when adding bleach
