I think you want the rust to appear so you can snag it. Don't sequester it yet. Let the pool turn orange/brown and remove the Iron with paper towels or pillow filling. Then treat whatever's left.

+1 what Richard says. That's iron. Your sand filter will also filter it out (now that it has precipitated).

Re: False negative metals test??
Need to borrow a big truck and trailer. Going to drag pool off into the woods and leave it.
Apparently haven't gotten the metals out. Every time I add chlorine it goes brown. Any step by step on how to make a filter (like I have seen in pics posted) to catch the metals or do the paper towels work as well (did not seem to work for me).
So if I am hearing right, raise chlorine from 0 (where it is), let metals precipitate, do the paper towels, then add AA for stains and Metal Magic (or magic mike) as the wife calls it to keep metals in solution???
Man this pool makes me feel dumb!
