So you have 100,000 liters (about 26,000 US gallons).
You'll need to tell us more because there can be many causes to grey, foggy water.
I'm not the metals expert--we have a few, but before anyone can give you reasonable advice you'll need to give us the results of a number of standard tests:
FC--Free Chlorine
CC--Combined Chloramines
TC--Total Chlorine (since TC=FC+CC, we only need 2 of the three)
pH
CH--Calcium Hardness
T/A--Total Alkalinity
CYA--Cyanuric Acid, aka, Stabilizer/Conditioner.

Given that you think your problem is copper sulfate, we should see a test of copper levels and, if you can, iron levels in the water.

A local pool store should be able to test for all of those things but remember to get them a VERY fresh sample of water.

We also should know if your pool is vinyl-lined, fiberglass/resin, or a concrete/tile/plaster hard-sided pool. We also should know what size pump and the size and type of filter. If you have any chemical adding systems, such as an in-line chlorinator, salt-water chlorine generator, ozonator, etc, and how you generally chlorinate your pool.

Hope this helps.

Hello and welcome to the Pool Forum!

You already have a thread started previously about this same problem. I'm sorry that you have not yet gotten any replies but PoolDoc is probably the best one to help you. Unfortunately, he is involved in some things with his family this weekend so it may be a bit until he has time to address your question. But..... he will get to it.

After I see that you have gotten this reply from me, I will close this thread so we don't end up with two threads going about the same problem. That way all the information/questions/answers can be kept together in your first thread.

Hope you understand and thank you for your patience! :)

Sorry, this is not my area of expertise although I can tell you that you are right, copper is a problem in pool water. As I explained in my previous post, PoolDoc is the best one to address this type of problem. So, you'll need to wait until he is available to answer your question.

Thank you.
