Yea that would be the one. Clorox brand. Grrrrr. I should have known it was too good to be true at $5 a bag!!! Where do you get your salt? Online?

I have a white fiberglass pool. I’m always fighting iron stains. It comes from my water, the red clay that gets dragged in, and who knows where else. And now apparently from my salt!!!!! I did an ascorbic acid treatment recently. Lifted the stains beautifully. My salt was low so I added a bag...

Overnight test had a chlorine loss of 0!!! Whoop. I can’t see any staining on the walls either. This iron staining issue has been a thorn in my side for a year!! Hoping I am seeing the light!

My pool is looking good. I think staining is improved and polyfil is collecting iron. I found algae in the sealant around my skimmer so I sprayed with bleach, scrubbed and brought my FC back to 12. My numbers are up to date on pool math.

Ok my water is clear. I lost 1ppm of chlorine last night. I turned my SWG back on and am hoping I’m done with the algae. My CYA is 30 and I lost 6ppm chlorine yesterday without adding any and without the SWG on. I work 12 hr shifts so I wasn’t home and it was very sunny and hot. Should I...

Thank you. I have a sand filter. I’ll brush brush brush. FC is already down to 12.5 so it must be working. I was worried I had Iron bacteria but that doesn’t seem to be the case. I hope.

Also I tested the iron level again with this tester and it said 0.00ppm. So I don’t know. The iron must be moving in and out of some kind of state. Or this machine is wrong. Or I’m using it wrong.

Hard to see the green tint in the picture.

So now my pool is green. I’m SLAMing because what else can one do? The water is cloudy and has a green tint. I’m assuming this is algae but could it be iron? I just retested the iron in my water and it read 0.75. Polyfil comes today and I’m going to put it in the skimmer.

Maddie, Do I just put the poly fill in the skimmer? Do I need a skimmer sock or anything?
