Got a new 14ft 2500 ga quickset pool. Filled it yesterday from our well put recommended amount of chlorine in it plus a floater. This morning the water was brownish green. I shocked it this morning thinking it was an allege issue. Went and put algaecide in it as well.
pH is 8-9 and I keep putting dry acid in to bring it down. I already had to rinse the filter once and probably will again. I’m thinking this has to do with our well water and it’s the metals in the water. Our water has very little iron in it so I thought I would be ok. Bottom and sides of the pool are also turning brown. Probably sediment.
What am I doing wrong or what can I go to get the water clear?
