Had a significant leak in liner this year and need to add a lot of water to pool. Last time I did this, as soon as I chlorinated, pool turned green from iron (actually a rather pretty color, clear as crystal, but... Still green. Hubby takes very vocal exception...
Long ago I remember people here talking about using poly fill out rooms of paper towel to filter out the iron. I know there's iron because on winter, when I have to drop the upstairs faucet to prevent freezing pipes, I put a hand towel under the drip so the iron does not staying my pretty, new, acrylic tub.
I'm thinking of drilling holes in a 5 gal bucket, coming with old pillow stuffing, sticking a spare skimmer basket into that, filling that with chlorine tabs and running the water through that.
Stupid idea? Or worth a try? Or yes but forget the chorine tabs.
Thanks. Glad this forum is still around.
