Removing iron in solution

[Lademers]

I brought a sample to my pool store, they tested and saw no metals! On their instructions I brought the total alkalinity up, then brought the ph down, then added stabilizer, and then the chlorine. So far so good! My water has been clear as can be.

Great! Glad to hear it worked out.
Keep a weather eye out for staining - it sure sounds like you had metal and sequestered it. Perhaps the test can't detect sequestered metals?

Dave, thanks for catching that this post had never been answered. Sometimes they are accidentally missed and sneak past us and then get buried under newer posts.
