Does anyone know what causes rural water to turn burgundy color when chlorine is introduced? I think someone said magnesium, but I don't know. What's the solution to that?

Softswim will turn greenish to brown when chlorine is introduced and get gunky.
purple coloration to water when chlorine is introduced and black stains on sufaces is probably manganese, not magnesium.
Lavender stain on pool surfaces ("purple haze") is copper cyanurate caused by high CYA and copper in the water.
