Holding very steady here - even with infrequent additions of Metal Magic - so far so good!

Holding up well here at 16 oz per week - might get by with less - skipped it this weekend and doing ok - so just dialing in - but doing well!! Thanks again Carlos for the input!!

Holding up GREAT here - 2 quarts initially and then 16oz per week - so far pool is PERFECT 2 weeks in, :) I'd also note (and I know it's questionable) that the culator I have has turned pink way more than ever before since starting this treatment. I know there's questions around the validity...

Just wanted to stop in and say THANKS for this thread carlos31820!! Your situation is EXACTLY what I've been dealing with to a 'T' and I was as frustrated as you were. I bought some more MM and added on Friday night - by Sunday morning - all was gone. Will find out what 'dose' my pool needs...

I agree - I tried re-aiming them a bit ago but put them back where they where when I started. I couldn't get much of a circular pattern going - I'll tinker more and see where it goes I guess. I don't know why they put 2 returns and the skimmer on the same side other than cost/ease of building...

I've done some reading on here and tried 'a' ping pong ball - but I can't seem to get a circular motion going in my pool - just confirming my thoughts etc with the great help here! I have a 16x32 rectangular pool - the skimmer and returns are all on the same said - 2 returns 1 skimmer. The...

pabeader - I agree with you - I could see it on the stairs and walls this morning while doing my morning checks. The pool is no longer a deep blue like it was - and I could see spots in the pool where it wasn't discolored which is what tipped me off to it (other than the stairs which are a dead...

Thanks Richard320 - your advice is well received. I'll check as soon as I get home form work today if it reacts like you described and report back. I'm hoping to see it brush off etc - I sure don't want to AA treat again...ugh.

Will it just vacuum off or am I going to have to AA treat it again? I can't tell form looking this morning before work if it was wipe-awaya-able or if it would involve more AA treatment. Thoughts? And Thanks for the thread links and thoughts!

OK - I've done the Ascorbic Acid treatment 2x's already this year - and it works well in regards to removing the iron. 1 time I let the algae get the better of me and it was a mess - but with everyone's advice - I worked through it and have been doing fine overall now for a couple of...

Roger that - will do - thanks for the help!

Gotcha - so is there such a thing as too much algaecide? I put some in after I refilled the pool because I did the AA treatment - but it might have been too late or something and that's how I got in this mess particularly I think. We had 2 really warm days right after I refilled the pool a few...

Thanks for the help and input Richard320! unfortunately work gets in the way of more than 2x's a day - but I can try to do more over the weekend coming up. So the good news is this is the 1st morning I've gotten up and I had a FC of 3 - not 0 - and pool looked clearer this morning. Still...

Ok - I've had some threads on here and have SUPER appreciated the help!! But as of tonight - I'm about ready to give and just let this thing go - so if you're up for challenge - let me know - cause I got one! History: Have drained pool to deal with high CYA (was well over 100). Have done...

Ok - just reporting back - drain/fill #2 in the books. I drained further this time than last - I left about 12" in the shallow end of the pool this time. CYA is down!!! YEAH!! Was at approx 50 when I tested today. FC is now back up to 3 (just tested). Only concern I have is the pool looks...
