Turning off the filter at night helps ALOT!! All of the stuff does settle down, and we are able to vacuum the stuff out. We have done this twice already, and the water is definitely bluer. We figure 2 more times, and then we will be good.

Only problem is, since we are vacuuming to waste so much, we now have to add water. Which I am terrified to do. I ordered a filter that you attach to your garden hose, which supposedly filters out the iron and copper before it gets to the pool. But this won't be here for at least a week

So, we may just have to bite the bullet, and add the well water again. Of course, I will add the metal out first, and hopefully, we won't start this vicious cycle all over again!
