My pool water seems to have more metal in it this year than ever before. Opened to a green swamp as usual and started the SLAM. Water clear in 48 hours or so but with a green tint and brown stains on the side. My sock of CYA got away from the jet and laid still on the step overnight and the area it was on is stark white.
Just wanted to let the experts see my plan of action and let me know if I need to change anything. Current test results:
FC - 4.5
CC - 0
pH - 7.8
TA - 60
CH - 50
CYA - 30 (planning on adding more to get to 70 when I start running the SWG)
Salt - 4000
So my plan of action is to let the FC drift back down to 1 or 2 and then put in some metal remover. My local pool shop used to carry ProTeam Metal Magic but I think they have switched to Spec Chem Metal Eliminator. Once I add the metal remover, I will put polyfil in the skimmer basket. After a couple days of this I'll backwash and then start the SWG.
Anything I should do differently or anyone know any tips or tricks? Thanks!
