LOL @ 11th commandment. Thanks so much Ben. I guess the pool store did sell me one thing correctly and that is the polyquat. I will add some of that but it's safe to assume that over time the filter will do it's job and get rid of most of the iron? We fully understand that we may never have the crisp clean clear pool that most people have but as long as most of the iron is out it will make it more desirable to swim it
