Iron Staining in indoor pool keeps returning now matter what chemical we use

[franimal0422]

Hello all,
We have been struggling to remove iron stains from our pool no matter what kind of chemicals or treatment we use, We have a vinyl liner and we have a brand new heater. At this point we are running out of ideas and do not know what to do anymore.

Could it also be our pump?

Welcome to TFP.

Chemical treatments will not remove iron from the water. They can lift the iron from the surface and sequestrant can hold it in suspension for a while. If the iron is not removed from the water by draining the pool and filling with iron free water or trying to filter out the iron with polyfill the iron will eventually redeposit on the surface.

What have you done to remove the iron from the pool?
