Problems Cleaning Salt Water Pool

[tsho]

There is something on the sides and floor of the pool that looks like dirt and/or rust. It will not come up with the vacuum but will turn into a "dust" when I use a brush on the floor. In some places in will not come off but for the most part it turns into that "dust." Problem is when I go back an hour later, it's there a gain. Any ideas? Hope this makes sense.

Welcome to TFP!!

Salt water + brown stains (to me) = iron in the water Can you rub a vitamin C tab on one and see if it lessens?

If I'm right, there are stain experts here that can tell you how to remove the stain and keep it at bay

Hey, tsho,

Welcome to the forum. :lol: To get started right with a minimum of guess work, can you post a full set of test results? Can you tell us what your water looks like right now? Can you tell us how you have been chlorinating the pool?

I would turn off your SWG tonight and do an overnight FC loss test to rule out organics. It may be dead algae or it may be something else...
