Just to add a thought - I read that Zeolite can be used to remove iron from water - so are we saying the iron could have built up in the Zeolite then converted by the chlorine when I raised the chlorine level which sent the water brown colour? The brown disappeared virtually overnight (no...

Yes I backwashed and rinsed and a little bit more bright green was pumped back into pool when I returned to filtration. I was talking whilst the backwash took place so missed the initial time section of the backewash/sight glass so cannot say for sure if iron has been filtered out? The filter...

Eventual success Ok thank you for all your inputs. The pool is virtually back to crystal clear blue but it just goes to show how much algae can be in a crystal clear blue UV Peroxide pool. Yes there were the small green areas in bad circulation corners that I was brushing 3 times a week but...

Update is it looked more light green this morning so tested water at Bayrol pool shop and they showed no copper and no iron. Basically told me to shock it so will do my best to slam it with my limited testing equipment.

This sounds like a nightmare? If I drain a refill how do I know water has no iron - will it do the same again?? How do I filter - in skimmers? Would the chlorine level still drop if it was Iron? Would the colour brown increase the more Chlorine I add? - sorry for all the questions. Peter

The pool was always showing vivid bright green algae in the circulation deadspots but water was clear. I cleaned the pool 3 times per week so it never got to build up. All went well all season and I had put off the changeover until the season was over. The chlorine level was zero at 10h00 so I...

Sorry very rude - thank you for the quick response!

Would the volcanic ash filter do anything weird? Expected it to be inert.

My initial thought was perhaps I had not got rid of all the Peroxide?

I have no idea? Any pools in the area I have ever been involved with have not reacted this way so doubt its in the water supply - not filled from river or well it comes from the drinking water supply?

Hi all, normally not one to panic too much but end of season and time to change from crazy expensive UV/Peroxide system to UV/Bleach (or even just Bleach) system and it didnt go exactly how I imagined. Left the Peroxide to run out and then converted to Bleach with auto dispenser. Next morning...

Sorry I understand a small percentage of that. Can someone say how many ppm of HP would be acceptable with UV running 24/7. Probably the higher the better to get rid of some of this ***** product. And yes I understand it is defendant in UV lamp working and it's hard to know if it's good or bad...

Yes totally agree about the chemical in the drum IF that is the case I will have to wait and see. ORP testing no sorry no idea. I was told to leave filter on 24/7 - change the UV filter bulb next year and keep the HP between zero and the first colour change on the test strips (sorry I dont know...

Sorry didn't explain myself very well. Previous owner along with pool expert (company owner) persuaded the new owner to buy 500€ worth of the 12% HP so need to get rid of all that first. So I am left holding the baby! Pool guy then retired and is as helpful as an ashtray on a motorbike.

Sorry I am not there until tomorrow and it's not a mad rush I like to be organized in advance - probably 1 month to go at least. With regards to the label t's in French but PH+ or PH Plus is the same in most languages I reckon 😂
