This just occurred to me. I was looking up test kits so I can test my well water for iron when I remembered.... i had the concrete decking around my pool replaced last summer. They cut a strip 1 foot wide around the pool to use a skid steer to remove most of the concrete, then came back and removed the 1 foot section by hand. Then they formed and repoured my new deck. In this process, lots of concrete dust from cutting was added to the water. Then the guy pouring my new concrete was careless and dumped about a gallon of wet concrete into my pool. This was just before the end of the swim season last year. Could the iron have came from this instead of my well water as I have never had an issue in the past? Maybe this is what put it "over the top"? I know concrete has high amount of metals. I still want to test my well water regardless but thought this could ultimately be my issue.
