We have a 16,000 gallon AG pool with a DuoClear/Nature 2 mineral cartridge SWG... It has performed very well for the last 2 years. Current testing shows the pool within the parameters listed under SWG water balance on this forum... however...
We had an algae problem several weeks ago, which was cured by shocking the pool with bleach for several days, and letting the pool pump (and SWG) run for several days... at no time did I ever put ANY algaecide in the pool... in five days it was clear again...
but,
this weekend my daughters' hair turned a bit green! This has never happened before, and my research tells me that Copper causes green hair.
What gives??? How did the copper get in there when I never put any in, and our well has never shown any signs of having any copper??
My only thought is this: did running the SWG/Mineral cartridge for that length of time somehow introduce extra copper into the system??
Thanks in advance for your thoughts...
