We have County water and fight iron staining every year.
We do the AA treatment with great results but in no time at all the stains return, ALWAYS!
Our SWG quit during the last treatment a few weeks ago so our FC has never risen over 5 by adding bleach twice daily. Our pool is only 7,000 gallons and as a Hail Mary we dumped three full bottles of Jack's Purple in which is at least 4 times the 'recommended' amount and it did not help.
New SWG on order so still manually adding bleach.
PH got up to 8.0 one time but other than that has been 6.8 and no more than 7.2 (Would a high PH (only) precipitate the iron onto the surface?)
We obviously can't be doing the AA treatment monthly?
I'll pay about any price to be rid of this problem. Filter, Reverse Osmosis.......?
Is there something we are doing wrong or the iron level is just too high? (How to test for iron????)
What about polyfill in the skimmer, where do I find out more info on that?
