chem geek said:Are you talking about something that looks like from Day 3 to Day 4 in this link? You only have a noticeable drop in chlorine when there is a lot to oxidize and that happens in the early stages, but later on the organics that are left are slower-to-oxidize or don't get oxidized by chlorine at all and must get filtered out.
I also assume you are absolutely positive that there aren't metals in the water (and remember that iron which can be yellow will look green against a blue vinyl liner background). If you suspect metals, lower the pH and if it lightens up then that makes it more likely.
At those really low temps - is it more important to get this done now or get that pool down and emptied before it is ruined by the temps?
I worry the material is going to get really brittle.
