Overnight test had a chlorine loss of 0!!! Whoop. I can’t see any staining on the walls either. This iron staining issue has been a thorn in my side for a year!! Hoping I am seeing the light!

My pool is looking good. I think staining is improved and polyfil is collecting iron. I found algae in the sealant around my skimmer so I sprayed with bleach, scrubbed and brought my FC back to 12. My numbers are up to date on pool math.

Ok my water is clear. I lost 1ppm of chlorine last night. I turned my SWG back on and am hoping I’m done with the algae. My CYA is 30 and I lost 6ppm chlorine yesterday without adding any and without the SWG on. I work 12 hr shifts so I wasn’t home and it was very sunny and hot. Should I...

Thank you. I have a sand filter. I’ll brush brush brush. FC is already down to 12.5 so it must be working. I was worried I had Iron bacteria but that doesn’t seem to be the case. I hope.

Also I tested the iron level again with this tester and it said 0.00ppm. So I don’t know. The iron must be moving in and out of some kind of state. Or this machine is wrong. Or I’m using it wrong.

Hard to see the green tint in the picture.

So now my pool is green. I’m SLAMing because what else can one do? The water is cloudy and has a green tint. I’m assuming this is algae but could it be iron? I just retested the iron in my water and it read 0.75. Polyfil comes today and I’m going to put it in the skimmer.

Maddie, Do I just put the poly fill in the skimmer? Do I need a skimmer sock or anything?

So I’ve been struggling with iron staining in my fiber glass pool. I just did an AA treatment with a CUlator in my pump basket. The stains lifted beautifully and my water is balanced nicely now. I had ordered an iron tester and it came today. Iron level in pool water is 0.00. Iron level in my...

Sorry for the delayed response. I knew chlorine was holding because I passed the overnight test. My water is finally crystal clear. I had to vacuum the powder up daily. I ended up adding calcium and CYA. My numbers are great now and my water is clear. Just took time

I have a 18,000 gallon fiberglass pool with SWG and sand filter. I had some staining on my fiberglass that I treated with AA following the instructions on the forum. I added 2 quarts of ProTeam Metal out afterwards and have been dealing with cloudy water since. My chlorine has been holding so I...

My chlorine held over night. White chalky powder remains. I’ll brush today and hope it filters.

So I followed all the rules doing the AA treatment for some metal staining. 24 hrs after adding the metal out my pool became very cloudy. This seems normal but my pool also has chalky residue on the bottom/stairs. I vacuumed it up this morning and then backwashed my sand filter and now at the...

Hey everyone. I did an AA treatment right before Christmas. Now I can’t get my chlorine to hold. Water is too cold for my SWG to work so I’ve been adding chlorine every few days. But every few days it Is always back at 0. There is no visible algae. Water is clear. Should I slam or just increase...

I took a picture today. My husband has been fertilizing the grass around the pool could it be that?

What can I do to prevent the daily formation of a black ring around my pool. It wipes away easily with a magic eraser. I have a scum star in my skimmer (seems to only collect bugs). My levels are all good. We aren’t wearing a ton of sunscreen but yet it still forms.

I can pick it up but can’t seem to make it out of the water with it. Perfect little circles clustered together.

I do have a sand filter. We also have some exposed areas of dirt around the pool that the grass hasn’t grown all the way in. Sand does get in the pool at times from dirty feet but that vacuums right up. I saw more spots today. They don’t vacuum off but I can brush them with my hand. It is...

So I super chlorinated my pool right before going out of town using my SWG (18k gallon salt water fiberglass pool). Then I left It to run for 11 hrs a day at 40%. I was gone 5 days. When I got home yesterday my FC was still 13.5. I turned my chlorine generator to 0% and today it was 11.5 at the...

My water is absolutely gorgeous. Crystal clear! Thanks for the reassurance

So I had to add 7lbs of stabilizer to my pool and I am still learning and missed the step of perfecting TA first. So now my pH is 7.2 and my TA is 110. I’m aerating the pool now and hoping that’ll raise my pH and then I can add MA. Is this the right steps to take? I have a 18,000g fiberglass...
