Hi all
Amazingly I found no posts on the forum about this. So I was the victim of the dreaded Iron contaminated Clorox Pool Salt about 3 seasons ago. Apparently it was worse than I thought. There is a nice darker area in my mottled dark plaster in the deep end from salt additions from that year. But I think the winter rain dilutions have gotten it mostly out of the pool But I am left with stained cartridge filters. I have done a TSP soak followed by an acid soak (per chemgeeks instructions). The stains are still there. I know its Iron because if I sprinkle some ascorbic acid on it they stains go away. Does the staining affect the filtration and I can just ignore it? or should I perform a ascorbic acid bath next?
Thanks all.
