ok everyone, just had the pool filled 3 days ago. I know before hand the the water had a high iron content. i used 2 bottles of metal magic and then shocked with dichlor approx 2 hrs later as directed. water didn't look too bad. had water tested Tuesday & alk & PH were high so they told me to dump 6#s of PH down. after that water looked a littler better. 2 hrs later we notice the water getting progressively more "rust" color. now its to the point where you can barley see bottom. according to the pool store 2 bottles of MM should've been plenty but i grabbed a 3rd today to dump in. Alk is still a little high so i also added more #'s of ph down as directed
i know chlorine will react with the iron but has anyone seen the water get word 8 hrs or so after shocking? i would though its get better, not worse
test results as of this morning
