    Default Freddy's Pool -- Starting an Intex -- Water turned brown

    I followed the 1st & 2nd steps of the SS Recipe but stopped filling my pool because the water turned brown. I tested the tap water with a 6 way strip and the hardness was 100 the bromine was 1-2 the PH was 8.4 the alkalinity was 240 and the cyanuricacid was 30-50. I need help.

    Brown water typically means iron in the water. Are you filling from a well?
