Thank you all for helping me understand this.

So weird

Water is clear pH is 7.5 cl is 7

I changed filters again yesterday. Rusty sludge was caked on the cartridges and all of the filter plastics are now orange. Again I added not one drop of new water

How do I have iron if I have not added water?

You would drain a pool of this size as a last resort

I wanted to update the forum in case anyone had a similar experience. After we added 5 qts of Metal Magic to a 40000 in ground pool the paper filters eventually picked up most of the metal. I changed and cleaned the filters. There was red/green sentiment present. Lots of it. Our water is...

And I will have the pool company test the heater

Ok. That’s the last resort I was afraid of but I will begin draining about 5,000 gallons after the sequester has had a while to circulate. Will doing this 8x rid us of copper?

I used Metal Magic. 5 qts. The rep told me our paper filters would catch the copper and remove it. Gray clumps is what I would see when cleaning the filters. He said I might need to add 6 oz or so in a few weeks. Are his comments correct? If you guys don’t agree I will move ahead with the...

Totally fixed with metal sequester liquid

If the water test finds copper do you recommend Jacks?

There are no chlorine pucks. I will take a water sample to the pool store tomorrow.

I do have a Hayward heater. I just turned it on for the first time of the season today. I have not used copper algaecide. If this emerald color doesn’t change in the next few days should I try it?

I'd say its clear green as I can see the drains pretty easily when standing over the deep end.Its almost like the liner is stained or something. Ever heard of that?

I was fortunate this year to NOT need any fill water. The snow/rain was enough I almost had to take some out.

Day 3

Maybe I'm just being impatient but both seasons I opened it the water turned around within 3 days doing the exact same things.

Hi, Been a while since I asked a question and Im having some concern. Opened 3 days ago to brown extremely murky water. Began SLAM process (forgot to check pH). Vacuumed and brushed every day, change filters every 24-36 hrs. Water improved from brown to green pea soup in about 36 hrs but has...

Thanks! It turned around quickly. Back to normal.

Replacing some water to lower CYA a bit then I will take chlorine to shock level and brush and vacuum once or twice a day. Is this a sound place to start? Hope to have this back in shape before family heads here for Labor Day weekend. Thanks for your advice.

Numbers from today... pH 6.8 FC 10 CC 0 TC 10 CH 100 TA 30 (tested twice) CYA 70 TF-100 test kit pump runs 24/7 Per the Pool Math site I added 4 lbs 12 oz of Walmart Borax just now. Pool water is clear. What is next?

Since the pool is new and had water for only 2 weeks I assumed those hidden spots for growths wouldn't yet be an issue?

Results FC 23 lost 2.5 overnight CC .5 TA 180 CYA 50 pH 8.2 Any suggestions other than maintaining shock level?

Tonights numbers. Quite a drop in FC for one day? How? FC. 6.5 CC. .5 CYA. 50 Added 5.7 Gallons of bleach.

Got it. I'll post the numbers correctly tonight and tomorrow morning.
