New pool is filling up now...so confused on what to do!

[Trey9007]

Just got my pool installed 2 months ago. After they filled my pool, they put a chemical in the pool. All that brown stuff went to the bottom and they vacumed it out. I should note that when they did the vacuuming, they used their own portable pump so that what ever they vacumed came out of the pool and did not go to my filter system.

Thank you Trey9007! It is almost full now, I had to stop filling it off and on since yesterday but it should be done by tomorrow morning. I hope the chemical that I bought is going to work and I can just vacuum the iron off the bottom. The pool is sooo dark orange/brown right now you cant even see the bottom! I guess I will just play it by ear and hope that I do it right.

Thanks again!

Colleen, if it works, it works. You're committed to their method at this point, so you might as well try. Whether it will work depends on the details of your water, and on what exactly is in "Ultimate Metal Control by Suncoast Chemicals."

I don't know what's in it, and Pinchapenny has worked pretty hard to make sure I can't find out. So, your best bet, right now, is to follow their recommendations. If it fails, come back to us, and we can help you go another way.
