Most of your posts are about dealing with metal staining, and you want to put more metals in your water??

I have problems with stains caused by iron bacteria. I have no problems with copper

If you have iron you need to get some vitamin c tablets crushed into a sock and see if that will lift them.

Would you like copper staining problems ? Cuz adding copper is how you get copper staining problems.

There are types of bacteria called "Iron Bacteria", but chlorine quickly kills bacteria, so the bacteria are not the issue.

The problem is iron, which will always oxidize in a pool and cause staining.

You have to remove the iron or keep it sequestered with a sequestering or chelating agent.

As far as copper goes, our opinion is that copper should not be used for any purpose.

Se hai del ferro, dovresti prendere delle compresse di vitamina C e schiacciarle in un calzino e vedere se questo riesce ad eliminarlo.

Sì, con l'acido ascorbico le macchie spariscono ma poi tornano sempre. Mi hanno detto che è un problema di batteri del ferro

Esistono dei tipi di batteri chiamati "batteri del ferro", ma il cloro uccide rapidamente i batteri, quindi non sono i batteri il problema.

Il problema è il ferro, che in piscina tende sempre a ossidarsi e a macchiare.

Bisogna rimuovere il ferro o tenerlo sequestrato con un agente sequestrante o chelante.

Per quanto riguarda il rame, la nostra opinione è che non debba essere utilizzato per nessuno scopo.

Ho lottato con questo problema per anni. Ho fatto testare l'acqua della mia piscina e la rete comunale ma c'è del ferro. ma sfortunatamente non appena aggiungo il cloro quasi tutta la copertura della piscina si macchia.

Yes, with ascorbic acid the stains disappear but then they always come back.

They told me it's an iron bacteria problem.

The problem has nothing to do with bacteria.

The iron stains are caused by iron.

In any case, adding copper will not solve anything; it will only result in more metal stains.

I have struggled with this problem for years. I had the water in my pool and the municipal network tested but there is iron in it. but unfortunately as soon as I add chlorine almost the entire pool cover gets stained.

Please post in English as most people here do not speak Italian.

The problem is iron in the water.

Unless you can remove the iron or drain and refill with iron free water, the iron will always cause stains.

Bacteria are not the issue because all bacteria and algae should be killed by chlorine.

Note: Do not drain unless you can verify that it is safe to do so.

If you have iron in your pool water, and it’s showing noticeable stains on your liner then you need to filter your pool water through a Polyfil Bucket. I can send you full instructions, materials, and before/during/after pics if you need guidance. This is my area of specialty

what do you mean with drain unless?

@leron85 after some further reading on iron bacteria - you will likely need to SLAM your pool with liquid chlorine. Fair warning - it may cause discoloration to your pool water and may cause some staining due to the iron content in your pool. To combat this, you’ll want to also do the Poly-fil bucket at the same time as your SLAM.

Please post pics of your mechanicals/filtration/tubes so we can see how to get you set up for the bucket.

Thanks!

Hey @leron85 Can you post pics here of your filtration set up so that several of us can come up with a plan to assist you with the iron filtration and SLAM. Thanks!
