New here, 1st pool.
I slowly filled the 6450gal pool over a few days using well water. It developed some algae and the water turned a cloudy green tint. Once full I added 1 gal 10% bleach, within 5 minuets the entire pool was a dark red color. I am now swapping filters every 6-12hrs, I also added a diy filter to the return line (plastic jug filled with batting, holes drilled in bottom). My question is what is the best way to treat this problem? I have been filtering for 2 days now with no noticeable difference in water quality. I have not tested the water for anything yet, assuming the iron needs to be removed first.
