That seems to have worked really well! No brown yet and testing at 0.0ppm for iron. Thanks for the help!

Thanks! I put the polyfill in the skimmers last night. It was looking better this morning, but still some green in the deep end. Changed out the polyfill and keeping at it. Since it wasn't as brown when i put the polyfill in as it's been, i don't think all the iron is oxidized so there's...

I actually haven't been shocking at all. The normal chlorine from the salt cell has been turning it brown. We've needed to shock to reduce the CC, but haven't been able to because of the iron situation. I'm actually surprised, beyond the brown from the iron, the pool water has been fairly...

Ok, i did find some info on that. I'll try it and report back. Thanks!

Water is looking green-tinted since yesterday evening. Started in the deep end, but now is also in the shallow end. It's tempting to think the green is algae, rather than metal, but every time it looks like this it eventually turns brown, and then clears up right away with Metal Free. So the...

I will say I think it's getting easier to turn the water back clear when it turns, and that it doesn't get "as brown" as it used to. But i don't know that the frequency has reduced at all. We chlorinate via the Intellichlor SWG, and I've been supplementing with Chlorine tabs in the skimmers...

We've been doing it since spring, whenever we need to add water. We think the problem is the existing water that went in in the fall when we had the liner replaced. That water did have iron in it, and we can't seem to get rid of it.

Sorry, that was background info. We are filling from IN the house, which DOES go through the softener. We figured if we got this mess all figured out, we could eventually run a new, special spigot from in the house to outside, just for maintaining the pool.

Thanks for the response. Right - well water is all we've got. We are currently filling from the in-house water. Our outside spigots DO go through the iron treatment system, but I've learned that the removal of iron relies on both the iron treatment system AND the water softener to remove all...

After months of research I've exhausted all options and hoping someone with expertise can help. I am trying to figure out how to get the iron out of our pool water. Our pool turns greenish brown almost weekly, which we believe is due to iron (background below). We use a maintenance does of...
