    Drained pool and can’t get pool water for 10 days

    I have an above ground pool that never seems to be easy to open. This year, we pulled off the cover and the water in the pool was disgusting so we decided that we would siphon out all the water (about an inch left). We did this yesterday and today have been calling for pool water delivery as...

    Greenish/brown water

    Fighting with Chlorine causing water to turn yellow/orange ** LONG POST **

    Thank you Richard320 for the iron tips. I am keeping the chlorine level and PH level high and getting it out with paper towels so that I don't just have to continue buying sequestrant all summer. I figure when I replenish water after backwashing, i may have to do more of this since my supply...
