I'm about to do a copper stain treatment using sulfamic acid (Jack's Magic Copper & Scale Stuff). I've got pretty much everything figured and planned out except for how much of the Filter Fiber Stuff is necessary (or just helpful) for my treatment. I ordered some just because I noticed on the Jacks Magic website that they will include 9 oz of the fiber with their kit for a 10k gallon pool. I have an 18k gallon pool, so I meant to just order an 18 oz pack of fiber from Amazon, but accidentally ordered 2 of them, so I have 36 oz of fiber.
The instructions with the fiber pack say to normally use 3 oz of fiber per 25 sqf of cartridge filter area, but I have 450 sqf of filter area, so that would mean 54 oz of fiber under normal circumstances I suppose, but maybe I shouldn't use as much for a stain treatment that is going to probably cause a significant increase in filter pressure? I don't see much guidance on the web about how much to use in this situation.
Should I just start with the 9 oz per 10k gallons, so ~18 oz (1 pack) for my 18k gallon pool?
FYI, I've also already added a CULator powerpack egg to the pump and a 1 ppm CULator bag to each of the 2 skimmers in preparation. I'm also probably going to dump at least half of my pool water once the stains lift from the bottom of the pool. I also had a bypass added to the pool heater earlier this year for that obvious reason. Just trying to do everything as optimally as possible using all the knowledge I've gained on this forum. Thanks in advance for any advice!
