Just to clarify, my concrete is concrete print and has a lot of steel metal mesh in it.. I'm about to open my pool today. I'm currently adjusting PH and CYA before starting a SLAM. How about I bring my pool to clear water and I reply back here to continue our troubleshoot in a week or so. The...

I'm about to open my pool and unfortunately it is green at the moment. I am going to start SLAM today after I adjust PH and CYA. I wasn't able to find pictures from last year. That being said, the stains was everywhere. The entire white fiberglass pool was covered by an "iron, dark orange...

I do not have iron piping in my system. Very simple system 1.5 inch vinyl hose everywhere. I also have a 5 years old Hayward heat pump. I have concrete around my pool. I assume there is a lot of iron in the concrete.... perhaps when it's raining a lot it's overflowing in the pool ? I'm...

Hi, I have been fighting heavy iron stains in my fiberglass pool for the last two years. My setup is fairly simple. 10000 gallons fiberglass pool Hayward sand filter Hayward 1 HP maxflow pump Hayward SWG My pool is filled with city water which doesn't contain iron. I even got it tested to...

Hi, I just replaced my 8 years old T-3 cell with a brand new one as it was no longer producing chlorine and displaying LOW SALT (300). Upon replacing it with a new T-3 cell, it instantly started generating cell and the salt level was accurate (2800). Now, for the past 24-36 hours, the AquaRite...

D Good morning Texas Splash -- I wanted to give you a quick update. My pool has never been so white! The AA treatment was definitely successful this time around and my FC is now holding fine. I will continue to test throughout the day to confirm and better understand how to adjust my Hayward...

Hi Marty -- I just wanted to let you know the new cell did the trick. I now get an instant salt reading of 3000 which is accurate with my salt level. The new cell is also now producing chlorine. Problem fixed !

Yes, this is correct. I have tried and Vitamin C tablet will not remove or fade away.

See attached. Prior to AA, all the fiberglass was yellowish with a yellowish water line. All if that is gone now. Thanks.

Hi, I have just completed an ascorbic acid treatment to get rid of my iron stains. I have raised water as much as possible and the treatment so far is successful. That being said, I still have a waterline stain which I tried to remove with magic eraser to no success. The stain is light but you...

Can you define adding chlorine slowly... what should be the plan here ? Half a gallon every 2 hours until it holds ?

I started my new AA treatment today at around 5 PM.... all stains are gone.... My goal is to replace ~75% of water tomorrow. With 75% of water replaced, I assume most of the ascorbic acid will also be gone and I should be able to get FC to hold most quicker than if I would have not changed the...

Well, the cell had a long live so I just ordered a new one which I will receive tomorrow. Let's start there. Next i'll look at the board. I just hope a cell + board individually is not more expensive than a brand new unit. :) I'll post results tomorrow

I was hoping it's the cell. I get 300 salt... what does 0 salanity means ? How can I check if I have 0 amps.

Hi! My aqua rite was producing chlorine as expected and was displaying 2800-3300 salt which is accurate to my salt test strips. Suddenly and overnight, my cell is no longer producing chlorine and my salt reading dropped from 2800-3300 to 300. Is this consistent with a dead cell ? Serial...

Thank you Texas Splash, you have been very helpful. I think I will do the following: 1. Bring PH between 6.8 and 7.2 2. Bring FC to 0 3. Add Algaicide 4. Add 1-2 pounds of ascorbic acid 5. As soon stains are gone, empty 80-90% of water and replace with new water 6. Balance new water How does...

After the ascorbic treatment, do I need sequestrant before changing water ? How soon after I add sequestrant can I start changing pool water. Thanks

Hi everyone, My pool water is back to being clear but stains are back everywhere, looks like I wasted lots of efforts and money to get back to the exact same result and I take full responsibility as definitely I did miss a step somewhere. What step did I do wrong is the question I have and how...

I don't have steel/iron plumbing but as mentioned but pool pump is pretty rusted. I'm tempted to say this is the culpit but it's an expensive replacement if it's not it. I'm confident it's not the city water.

I'm more interested in the fixing the problem long term. Where in the heck is this iron coming from. As mentioned above, my pool pump is pretty old and is pretty rusted from the outside. After AA and I did backflash multiple times. I'm just exhausted and want to fix the problem permanently as...

I'm confused as heck. Pool looks like this morning..... i only added chlorine to bring FC back after ascorbic treatment... Where to go from here ?
