hello newbie here. bought first pool little 16 foot Intex above ground pool filled it up with my hose (drilled well). i know we have strong iron and rust so i filled the pool and was cloudy and little brown. So now i have to figure out how to get the iron out i made a bucket filter 5 gal bucket rows of holes in one end and a inlet from pump and stuffed it with poly fill. but its dissolved to fine 3 days and my buckets still fairly clean little bit of discoloration and my pump cartridge had minimal rust build up so just spray it clean and put it back in but water is still very cloudy and brownish almost yellow iv shocked it and added chlorine tablets as well as tried dumping some "super iron out" 2.1 kg (someone told me they used it and it cleared there's up right away) but all it did was lighten the browning i need to figure out how to solidify the iron in the water so it can be removed im also a 2 hour drive from a pool or spa store. some research iv done, some people say aluminum sulfate but i don't know where to get it unless its the same stuff i can get for soil from my local hardware store. but is it safe to use in the cheap cartridge filters, pool has 4600 gal of water in it and im located in Muskoka, Northern Ontario, Canada. any help be greatly appreciated as my kids want to swim.
thanks
