About a week and half ago, I did an ascorbic acid treatment to my pool and returned all of my orange jets, drains, and skimmer baskets to a bright white. After that I drained half the water out and refilled to lower my CYA (I figured this was the time to do it). Upon refilling, I put in a sequestering agent and did the full TF100 battery of tests and returned all levels to normal. Yesterday, the pool looked fine. I added a little bleach and went on my way (I use the BBB method for the most part). Today, we got maybe an inch of rain while I was at work and when I returned home, the pool is a dark gold color. Not green so much, put a yellow/gold. Plus, all of jets are all the sudden orange again like they were before the acid treatment. I immediately raised the chlorine levels way up by dumping a bottle of bleach in (my "spool" is only about 3500 gallons). This was two hours and nothing seems to be changing. I can normally get noticeable results very quickly as I can get most of the water through the filter in a short period of time. I don't remember ever seeing the pool this color. Also, I can't believe the plastic turned orange on me so quickly (I tested it with a vitamin C pill and lifts right off). The chemistry never got way out of whack or anything. Any advice? I can't seem to find much info on gold water.
Thanks,
