Hi guys,
Yes I did take my sunglasses off :) Fiberglass pool just got repainted with gelcoat. After 3 days I decided to start the filling process. I put 3 of 3" tri-chlor tablets into the floater, attached hose to it to let the water run through the tabs. 5 hours later I came back to see the progress and what I saw was hard for my brain to understand. The water in the pool was violet/pink but clear:)
I am affraid to ask, but has anyone ever saw or had anything like this before?
I assumed it was a lot of chlorine and maybe not enough of something else so I took out the tabs. Today it's still filling and water is light green now, I still have probably 2 days left to fill it completely. It's 35K gal pool.
Why was it violet/pink?
Thanks,
B
