The firetruck filled our pool and it came out brown from the tanks, which I expected but they said it usually goes away within a couple of days. It has been 48 hours and no improvement. Will it actually go away or do I need to do something to get rid of it?

If you’ve got iron in your fill water, use Polyfill to remove it
EDIT: Found out this method only works if your iron is oxidized already, meaning it’s got a dull or bright green tint to the water, or a nasty brown tint. If you know you have iron in your fill water, but it isn’t oxidized yet, bring your pool to shock level and it’ll turn the telltale green...
