I believe I have some type of metal in my pool water, just not sure if it is iron or copper. I am on well water. After completing a SLAM process a few weeks ago, I noticed my water was clear but bright green so I let the chlorine levels drift down and did an initial dosage of Metal Magic and the water turned clear blue but cloudy. After 48 hours, I brought my chlorine level up from 2ppm to 6ppm and unfortunately, that seems to have precipitated the metals out of the solution as the water is now teal green. So now I am trying to come up with a weekly process for managing how to tackle this problem best. Based on my CYA of 40 my recommended target FC level is 5-7 but I may need to keep it closer to 3 for a while to prevent oxidation of the metals, but I also do not want to risk algae developing and the need to shock the pool.
I figure I will need to add a weekly maintenance dose of Metal Magic to the water to keep the metals sequestered but really struggling to figure out how to maintain my FC levels to avoid algae outbreaks. I was considering maybe supplementing with Poly60 but unsure how that interacts with Metal Magic and when to use each product, and if the application of that product even makes sense.
