Thanks for the ideas. The shop vac is not an option for the remaining fo the draining - my husband seems to think if I dump a gallon of chlorine in the remaining water and then refill - the cleaner water will overpower and all will begin to regulate? However I am afraid I will still have brown...

I posted last week about my pool water being brown and after a long week of conversations with the Pool store and people on this forum - I decided to drain the pool due to a "mostly likely" Iron and/or Cooper problem with my Intex pool. My hope was to drain the pool - scrub the liner, refill...

Yes DanPik. On Monday all was high - ph, chlorine, alkalinity - they had me ph balancer and on Tuesday...add pool 1st aid - and told me not to add anything else. Tuesday before I added pool 1st aid...everything - according to dipstick testing - was low! The pool is now drained - will get in...

Maybe - let me see what I do tonight - quick question...I also use Pop Up Portal and it is really hard to upload pics on their forum - is it as hard on this one?

Oh bummer danpik - It's funny you mentioned coming to take a look at it - because when I was at the pool store on Monday, I begged (a little exaggerated - lol) the clerk to come and look at it (only because I've been in so much this season, I feel I should add her to my xmas card list - lol) and...

My only question about the iron being in my water - We have had this pool for 4 seasons - this is the 1st time something like this has happened! I have been attributing all the issues to the fact that we left it up this past winter (had a mild one) and of course, lots of yuck got into the pool...

At Swampwoman - I am seeing that I am doing things really wrong - I read through a lot of the pool school articles last night and I don't know why but this system has been working for the last few years but I think with all the extreme temps this summer - it's all off and a better system needs...

The ph was super high when I tested the water on Monday - I added a ph balancer and then on Tuesday my ph was low. I called the pool store and they said to let the pool first aid work - give it 2 days and add the black Algaecide - but reading on this forum everyone is telling me to stop using...

The water tinted on Sunday afternoon and got darker as the day went on!

Yes - on Sat. night!

All at once walking around the pool!

Nope, nope, nope & nope! My chlorine regimen was to add a gal. of liquid chlorine once a week - this has worked since all was fine with my water!!!

Yes - when i was trying yo resolve the issue back in June - i added a whole bottle of Copper Algaecide - but them drained it b/c i couldn't get it clear from the dark brown cloud i had back then (but i couldn't drain the whole pool - so their was about 2 inches of water when i refilled - but i...

Yes, it was a dark brown on Sunday and Monday and now it is a clearer brown - I did read something about metals being in the water - but is that a common thing to just happen overnight when the pool water has been clear? I do live where we have hard water - but this is our 4th season with this...

I am an 15x48 Intex Pool owner in Upstate New York and new to the forum! I have had one heck of an awful season trying to keep my water clear! I spent most of June getting it clear and then I get it clear and then just this past weekend, literally overnight...my water turned brown and I mean...
