Hello everyone! Found this resource and I've been reading through and amazed at how much knowledge is shared on here. I wanted to share how we are doing.
Took the plunge and got a pool for the family. Intex 18'x48" easy set. Filled with well water and added chlorine. Like clockwork water turned murky brown. Guessing that's the iron. Been working on filtering, cleaning filter and cleaning again frequently and trying to be patient. Got a good test coming in the mail but the drop tests that came with the SWG say the chlorine is around 5. I put probably half a jug in by now. Put maybe 1/4 lb if CYA in so far. Any recommendations? Hoping to see some change soon.
