well water

We just had our pool re-plastered and tiled. We're on the process of filling using garden hoses with filters attached to the ends. We even wrapped in cloths around the filters to increase the filtration, and, well, our pool looks like this. Please help!

I've got these test strips that test for both Chlorine and Bromine separately and my bromine levels keep showing high, like the upper limit of the range on the test. See photo. This is a new pool, I used well water that has been run through a home filter and a water softener, and the only...

Thanks to everyone's help in getting our pool balanced at the start of the year, our water balance is in excellent shape. Now, we need to add about an inch, but we're on a well and last year when we did filled from the well the water turned green from minerals. We're at a point where we need to...

We have a new pool that is not yet "officially" done as the installers need to come back and add salt and program the control panel. We have been told that it is still swimmable while the plaster finishes its curing process so In the meantime we have been maintaining Chlorine manually. That has...

Hi! We just did the "paper towel in the skimmer basket" trick and within a half hour, it was brown! We fought with a green pool all last summer (first season with any problems of our 5 years with this pool!) and the pool store said it was algae so we shocked and shocked and shocked and finally...

First timer here. Put up our free to us above ground pool in April, 16'X48" and bought a nice 2 bag sand filter to keep it clean. Decided on using the AquaSilk system. I also added a solar cover and a solar panel. I am in Oregon and we only get about 3 months of swimming weather if we are lucky...

We just set up a new intex above ground pool Using approximately 1700 gallons of well water. The water is an orange brown after approximately eight hours of filling. We ran the filter a few times and have added metal free additive. Added 5x 1” Chlorine tablets also. Ph is high. Any idea how...
