Thanks for your help & advice, duraleigh. And great question. I'm dumb not to have addressed this. My water has copper in it. 0.1 to 0.4 or so, but these tests were done when it wasn't in solution (via the citric acid) I have the worst success with screws. I always seem to end-up buying ones...

Hi Hoster. Thanks very much for your helpful insight. Sorry we're both dealing with skimmer box rust issues. Boy, those photos you posted are alarming. So that entire square frame rusted? Was that behind the plastic? (I don't know what mine is...just that I see the rust on the screw heads). I...

Hi Ajw22. Thanks for your reply & help. I was thinking that might be my Option #4...just leave it as is. I guess my concern is that just that level of rusting could taint the water with metals. But I don't know if it takes a a big amount of rusting...or a little amount to affect the water.

Hey there fellow TFPers. I've facing an issue here, and just as I'm going to close the pool. But I think that may work out well, as I have to lower the water anyway. The screws holding the skimmer in place are rusting after 40 years. And yes, I tested and there is metal in my pool water. I'm...

mknauss and JofulNoise, thank you for replying with such quality information. TFP forums have the best people. Well, at this stage...I ordered one CuLator packet/bag. So...I guess I'll have to give it a shot. Though in reading more about the ion attraction and thinking of the physical movement...

Hi all. Happy Summer '22. I've done two partial drain & fills over the years in an effort to remove metals. But it's too costly to keep doing. So I purchased a CuLator bag, and hope to get the remaining .45 iron out of the water. This is just a question about your thoughts on the process...

Basod, terrific post. Thank you first for putting in the effort to try to find solutions, and then for sharing your results. When you say you soak the towels in an AA solution, this is just AA & water right? The only AA I have is in powdered form which I ordered from a an online spice company...

Thanks for your reply, duraleigh. I understand your point. But the water I use to refill the pool isn't my question at this point. I'm just talking specifically about the water that is already in the pool. When I see the visible stains, does that then mean that ALL the iron is contained in...

I'm interested in your thoughts as to if you think this could work. 1.) I have iron in my pool. The plastic white step entry into the shallow end is entirely stained, the white plastic fittings are stained, the filter basket, as well as the deep-end "Joints" where the bottoms meets the sides...
