My iron problem has been getting worse over the last few years. Our water is dull and lifeless. I miss the days of crystal clear water.
I don't know what to pin it on, but my area does have high levels of iron in the water. Note: I haven't used hose water to fill the pool in years. At the end of last year, I had success clearing the water and stains by using citric acid and/or AA, but the stains would come back as the FC rose. I tried several bottles Jack's Magic Purple but that didn't seem to provide any stability. Is it possible something in my equipment is adding metals to the pool? I have a heater inline that never gets used. I'm not sure if the internals of that heater or metal or not. Being a salt water pool, oxidation is always in the back of my mind. I'd be willing to run the pool without the SWG if I could just get a handle on this issue.
I just opened my pool and am working through clearing the water of whatever is growing in there. Once it's clear, I was going to do citric acid or AA to get everything sparkly and clean then empty the entire pool and get a load of new water. I'd start it off with the correct amount of sequestrant. Obviously, I don't want to get all new water if the problem is elsewhere.
What should I do in this scenario?
Thank you!
