This story is a saga, and I am beyond lost.
I'm on the 4th asorbic acid treatment to lift stains/browning. it cleans it, but only lasts for 5 days and comes right back.
PH is 7.2, FC 3.0, CC 0.5, TA 120, CYA 104, CH 60
I have used at least 3 quarts of Metal free/ metal pro. StainX products after the asorbic acid powder.
11,000 gal vinyl pool, paper cartridge filter. I pumped out 8,000 gallons in two different pump downs and refills 3 weeks ago. City water from hose used to refill with a filter on the end of hose that's supposed to remove metals.
Pool store test yesterday showed metal count at 0.6ppm, they said that should not be enough to stain the pool.
I have tiny little white powder flakes rinsing out of my filter when I hose it off, what is that? could it be the sequestered metals or the asorbic acid?
I have used only liquid chlorine, with a couple of tabs to maintain while im at work.
I followed the instructions on this website in regards to the metal stain removal.
I never got my FC down to 0 but the PH is 7.2 as stated in the article, I have not slammed/shocked the pool yet.
just been adding liquid Chlorine to maintain the lower FC levels.
The water is clear, might be a tiny bit hazy.
21 years with this pool and this staining started last year and wont stop.
