Hello,
I stumbled on this website while looking for some advice about my pool. I have an inground plaster deep pool aprox 17,000 gal. I do my own pool care and am retired so I am able to keep up with it pretty well. i have 2 huge live oak trees in front of my house and they create a lot of work in the spring as they shed their leaves. I have lived here for 27 years and had my share of problems with the pool but always managed to figure things out. I just came back from Lesles for a water test and it said it was high in Copper. A couple other readings were just a little bit off, but I have never seen this copper reading, 4.3 this high since i lived here, and the pool looks great. the guy at leslies tried to sell me some stuff to get rid of the copper but I did'nt buy it. Or he said I could drain it and refill it. The pool is old but the water looks great. Just looking for a little advice here besides don't take your water to leslies to test anymore. thank you!!

If you do suspect you have copper, and water exchange is in order. It can't be filtered. Copper doesn't come from local water, so it must be from a chemical byproduct, so it would be key to know that for future reference.
