    Hi Waste! Wow, we feel much better. Thank you. We do not know about our fill water. We actually filled w/ city water , but our normal fills - topping off - we do with our well water. I can take a sample of each to the pool store for metals testing? Or, should I just take a sample of the pool water? btw, can you calculate how much bleach to add to maintain a 1 to 1.5 cl? I read somewhere here to keep it low for the first month - also, the plaster will be 3 weeks old tomorrow (not 2wks old) Thanks again.

    ...Maybe this will help: I called our City of Columbia Water Department, and an engineer gave some info:
    Copper 3.9 parts per billion
    manganese 3.4 " " "
    iron 11.6 " " "
    sodium 8.92 ppm
    potassium 2.38 ppm
    magnesium 1.85 ppm
    aluminum 0.11 ppm
    He had more numbers, but does this confirm that it is metals? If yes, must we take action TODAY to keep from staining? or will tomorrow we okay?

    Thanks again for all the help.

    Hi,
    Finally got up w/pool people and they are coming tomorrow to add the chems to balance. Perhaps we were too hasty to ask for advice; however, the info gathered here lets us know what should happen! Thanks so much Waste! Will keep you posted.
