Fill new pool with well water "IRON"

[maxhighlife]

my builder asked me to test my well and get a filter to fill the pool
with my Taylor kit the CH was 27 drops or 270 ppm and the TA was 24 drops or 240 ppm how do I determine the count from these numbers?? Thanks and any filter recommendations?

I don't understand what you mean by "count"?

Your builder is in la-la land if he thinks you can buy a filter to remove soluble iron.....it doesn't work like that.

There are several strategies to deal with iron in your water. They all cost some money and are a pain but it is what you will need to do.

If you have actually tested the iron content, what is it in ppm?

Yes Bad question I guess I should of asked I am about to fill my new pool with well water based on the Taylor test readings what filter recommendations and/or advice would you offer, Thanks

The best advice is not to use that source. .3 ppm is sort of a threshold for iron staining and you have three times that.

Can you find another source? If not, you will have to be a life time user of sequestrant. That's a product that keeps the iron in suspension but it "wears out" and must be replenished pretty often.
