    Post Re: biologically sourced metal

    My calcium was at 80ppm so I added 6lbs. which would bring it up to 180ppm. I put it in about 10 minutes ago and nothing so far. I think my green pool is hopeless

    Every morning I wake up and there is rust dust on the bottom of the pool, I guess EVENTUALLY it will settle out. I was just hoping there was something I could do to turn the iron to rust QUICKER!

    If there are any changes I will post.

    I spoke to a neighbor who says he has the same problem with his hot tub, he told me if the green water is coming out of the cold faucet it is the water companies corrosion problems, not my pipes. So I called the water company to complain and they are going to investigate the situation. If only you all could see the green you would know why I am sooo miserable.

    I'm going to try to post a pic.

    Thanks Watermom for the kind words.

    Purplegirl, I'm sorry you are having such a hard time, and I am sorry the calcium didn't work. Maybe they can figure out something for you.

    A lot of times the metal remover will cause some of the calcium to precipitate out.
