Re: Metal Staining on liner, steps. Having problems clearin Now that my chlorine levels are up, the pool is completely yellow-brown now. You can't see the bottom and it looks horrible. I don't know what else to do other than add the ascorbic acid again in order to turn it blue. Looks like...

Re: Metal Staining on liner, steps. Having problems clearin So ... this morning my new numbers are: FC = 1.4, TC = 2.1, CC = 0.7, ph = 7.1, Hardness = 130, TA = 70, CYA = 30. The pool is holding chlorine, but now looks like a pond. Yellowish-brown color all over.

Re: Metal Staining on liner, steps. Having problems clearin During the day, I added another stabilizer puck since CYA was low. Checked on the pool and the staining is completely back. I put the pump into recirculate and dumped in another entire litre of sequestrant. I still haven't been...

Re: Metal Staining on liner, steps. Having problems clearin I am at home; was just at work yesterday. I'll add more sequestrant, although I'm surprised at the amount I've added total for the size of our pool - about 2 litres now. Going out to add more sequestrant now. Thanks!

Re: Metal Staining on liner, steps. Having problems clearin Hi again - so last night, I added baking soda, let that circulate, then added another 2 cups of metal sequestrant, after an hour I added 1.3 litres of 6% bleach. This morning, my readings are: FC = 0, TC = 0.5, TA = 100, ph = 7.0...

Re: Metal Staining on liner, steps. Having problems clearin Will add the baking soda first, then sequestrant, then bleach. I'll go with your amount since it's less. How much time would you leave between each product when adding?

Re: Metal Staining on liner, steps. Having problems clearin OK ... so I"m going to add another full dose of Metasol (HEDP sequestrant) and 1.8 litres of 6% bleach all at once into the pool as soon as I get home this afternoon. Fingers crossed we see some positive changes. (I now have 8 days...

Re: Metal Staining on liner, steps. Having problems clearin Thanks! I'll give that a try. Our steps are starting to stain again; would you add more sequestrant before adding the bleach?

Re: Metal Staining on liner, steps. Having problems clearin My bleach is 6%. I used the pool calc and it gave me 1.8 litrers. Would you add that all at once? Into the skimmer?

Re: Metal Staining on liner, steps. Having problems clearin So ... when you say to dose it every hour, how much liquid bleach would you add each time?

Re: Metal Staining on liner, steps. Having problems clearin Hi - my latest readings: FC & TC = 0, ph now down to 6.9, Hardness = 130, TA = 20, CYA = 25. It's been suggested that I shock tonight after adding another dose of metal sequestrant. My chlorine levels have been this low for over 2...

Re: Metal Staining on liner, steps. Having problems clearin OK. I have been running the SWG in addition to adding liquid bleach.

Re: Metal Staining on liner, steps. Having problems clearin What about using some of the non-chlorine shock & swim product I have to try to clear it up? Its main ingredient is "Peroxymonosulfuric acid". Or will that have the same effect as adding shock? Thanks for your help!

Re: Metal Staining on liner, steps. Having problems clearin No... it was on the liner as well. We tend to notice it on the steps first just because they're white and you can see it better. Last Sunday it was so bad the entire pool was yellowish brown.

Re: Metal Staining on liner, steps. Having problems clearin Thanks ... I thought I had some muriatic acid around but can't find it. Will go to the store tomorrow to pick some up. I haven't tried adding any de to the filter. And I can't get my hands in a good test kit locally so I've been...

Re: Metal Staining on liner, steps. Having problems clearin yes, I've been following the procedure as best as I can. The pool turned cloudy about 2 days after the first time we added the AA and has been that way ever since (2-3 weeks). I just added more metal sequestrant since we had to top...

Hi everyone ... I've been reading all the posts about iron staining and how to fix. We've had our pool for about 7 years now and this is the first year we've had issues with it. This year, we had a small nick in our liner and, because we have salt water, it rusted before we could find it...
