Here's a pic from this morning. :party: Definately had to be metals......

:wave: Welcome to TFP! I have been having an issue that sounds very similar to yours. I started with a swamp and shocked for 24 days, the water finally cleared up but it turned translucent green/yellow. I also have a well so I had my water tested for metals and tests came back 0, but metals...

Thanks Jason :-D Looks like progress to me! :whoot:

Thanks! :goodjob:

Re: Opening Pool...Day 22, How long is it safe to shock? Pool looks all sparkly....FC held again last night and 0 CC's, so going ahead with the metal treatment. Added 43 oz. ProTeam's Metal Magic (hope that was correct dosage). Let's hope that takes care of it! Had to go back to the pool store...

Excellent idea! Thank you so much for the info and the pics. It's always easier to understand when you can see it. Definately have to try this. One question, did you use pea gravel or another type of stone? Our steps aren't in right now because I've been trying to clear the swamp from not...

We have those exact steps and have always had a problem attaching them to the deck....never thought to do it your way. I'm going to have to check and see if we still have all the parts to the outer ladder and see if I can get hubby to set them up like yours. Thanks for the great idea! :goodjob...

Re: Higher iron/metals content? Update: Test Results Ok, wasn't sure what all was in there besides asphalt, fiberglass and minerals. Haven't seen any nails.

Re: Higher iron/metals content? Update: Test Results I just had a thought and it may be stupid, but I'm going to ask anyway. We had storm damage to our house back in April that tore up our roof. Rover brought up a piece of shingle about 2 weeks ago. Several times it has also brought up the...

Re: Higher iron/metals content? Update: Test Results Ok, thanks. I didn't see that anywhere on their website either, just pH like you said.

Re: Higher iron/metals content? Update: Test Results The pool store said I will have to let FC drop to 2ppm to use the sequestrant. Is it really ok to let it get that low and if so how long do I leave it that way? Thanks.

Re: Opening Pool...Day 22, How long is it safe to shock? It doesn't look cloudy to me. What would you say? I'm so frustrated! I just came back from the pool store and 0 copper and 0 iron......now I'm even more confused. :?

Re: Higher iron/metals content? Update: Test Results Pool store said no copper or iron. So, what now? They said they would wait a few more days before doing the sequestrant, just so I wouldn't be wasting money on something I didn't need. Could their tests be wrong? I told them only to run the...

Re: Opening Pool...Day 22, How long is it safe to shock? Nice! :cheers: OFCLT showes no FC loss last night and no CC. Was planning to shock one more day and test overnight again just to be sure in case I somehow messed up the test last night. I double checked this morning, so it would have...

Re: Higher iron/metals content? Thanks :)

Re: Higher iron/metals content? Here's a pic.

Re: Higher iron/metals content? Just looked up the ProTeam website to find Metal Magic near me.....called the pool store to confirm they carry it and have it in stock before driving all that way, never been to this one before. I'm going to have them test for metals while I'm there. They said it...

Re: Higher iron/metals content? Do I need to let FC drop before adding?

Re: Higher iron/metals content? The latter. I have been shocking my pool for 3+ weeks now and it was truly a swamp. My FC finally held overnight and CC's are 0, so I'm wondering if it's not clearing because of metals. The water is translucent, just has a tint to it. I have a thread in Pool...

Can well water suddenly develop a higher than usual amount of iron or other metals? We filled our pool from our well in 2009 and have always topped it off from our well and never had a problem. Just wondering if it's possible for it to change? Thanks.

Re: Opening Pool...Day 22, How long is it safe to shock? FC -1.5 CC 0 Maybe we're getting closer....

Re: Opening Pool...Day 22, How long is it safe to shock? Yes, still running pump 24/7. Actually, we do all summer anyway. I just feel the water looks better when I do. Hate the light bill, but like my water to look it's best! Fingers crossed for clear water in the morning!

Re: Opening Pool....Day 14 Lost 2 last night. Has been anywhere from 2-2.5 and CC's .5-0 with it being 0 last night. Still have yet to lose only 1 or less, so that's why I'm hestitant to quit shocking. We do have well water. That's where all the pool water has come from since day 1 and...

Re: Opening Pool...Day 20, How long is it safe to shock? My steps are out, have been since maybe the first week when the water cleared up enough to see what we were doing when we were taking them out. Didn't want to put them back in until everything else was ready. The only other thing in the...

She's getting spoiled already! :thequeen:

Now that is one cute kitty! :) So glad you were able to rescue him.
