Looking for cheaper way to control iron in above ground pool. Help please?
I have a new above ground pool. The numbers are great testing the water but it turns green. It was filled with well water known to have a high iron content. My dad has me putting Iron Out in the water but that stuff is very expensive. The metal conditioner I found among the pool chemicals in the store did nothing to help. I am a single mom with two kids trying to keep em happy. If u know a cheaper way I would be eternally greatful.
A decent pool supply store should be able to test for the metal’s in your water. Did it turn green soon after you shocked it or was it cloudy and then turned green after a few days? Turning green makes me think it’s copper, not iron. We used a liquid called The Blue Stuff in our pool when it was filled from our well that tested a low level of copper. It left residue that took days and several filter cleanings to clear up a bit. I picked up a Slime Bag Filler Up bag and hooked it on the hose when I filled it and didn’t have the metals problem the next season. I bought several of the Polishing Slime Bags and use them on the outlet from the pump into the pool to keep it clean when not being swam in.
