This is what I figured, I may need to get another bottle of RV antifreeze I'm thinking. Thank you for confirming!

I fully winterized my pool but I am beginning to worry I might have closed the valves in the wrong order. What I did, in this order: Jandy valve set to skimmer fully open, blew out skimmer / return lines Flip Jandy valve to main drain fully open, blew out main drain THEN set Jandy valve to...

I have read many, I was hoping to gauge responses to the photo in terms of what you all thought the severity of the stains were. I went ahead and added a bottle of the Pink and it looks much better, only the heavier / scaled stains remain but some have come off with the constant brushing. The...

I recently did a less than conventional AA treatment and it did improve the stains a bit, but they came back, of course. Attached is a photo of the current stain situation where it is worst, by the steps / returns. I could live with these stains for the rest of the summer and then do a proper...

The metal is back with a vengeance. In case you can't tell from my profile picture, I live in a practical forest. When it rains it turns into a jungle. Every morning I have untold amounts of critters in my pool: frogs, beetles, ants, worms, centipedes, straight up dirt, leaves, pollen. My CC...

Here is the info the sales rep sent me when I called with my million questions :laughblue: (word document pasted below) SUPER ERACE SUPER ERACE is a highly concentrated chelate with unique dispersing properties. By combining these two properties, SUPER ERACE brings to the...

Thanks for all this, right now FC is steady at 2 and CC is 0! Adding more bleach until it holds at 3 (for now). I will get back to you as soon as I see something, either cloudiness or stain coming back. FYI - cloudiness was never the issue, my water was always clear, it was the staining that...

Thanks for the insight Tex, I'm slowly adding liquid chlorine until my FC holds steady at at least 3, cloudiness is being kept at bay by the algaecide hopefully. The one thing I'd like to mention is that I don't think this product had AA as an active ingredient (or anything acidic for that...

I added PH minus and the vitamin C tablet melts the stain away, all but confirming it's iron staining. Don't I want to wait to raise the chlorine quickly since I just did a metal removal treatment? edit: I also realize I made a mistake in my OP with my readings, they should have been: FC...

I apologize in advance as I anticipate this thread may be all over the place! I just completed my third metal treatment for what I am rather sure is iron staining. My first two unsuccessful tries were AA and a sequestrant, however, I used CuLater the second time only and did not use an...

Thanks, Tex!

Hi there, Thanks to everyone involved at TFP for your help, it's already provided me with tons of insight and as a DIY'er this is invaluable! I used to be a CPO (certified pool operator) as a lifeguard back in my 20's and so I had a leg up on managing my own pool once I bought my house...
