    Waterbear is right.

    It is impossible for us to help you if you will not give us the information we need to diagnose your problem. Everything that goes wrong with a pool has a cause and is, in some way, reversible but not without sufficient data.

    Ultimately, this pool is yours and therefore your responsibility. We can give you the benefit of our advice based on our wide ranging experience (There are a lot of knowledgeable people here who want to help), but whether or not you take it is up to you.

    Two of our most deeply experienced professionals, PoolDoc and Waterbear have both told you that we need test results. We need them. Both have many, many years in the business and PoolDoc has nearly single-handedly revolutionized pool care to make it easy and affordable to home owners.

    But for them to help you, you must help yourself, and it starts by providing us with vital test data.

    One thing we won't do, none of us, is tell you what you want to hear when it doesn't fit the facts. We don't do that. If you are convinced you have a metals problem despite all contradictory evidence, we aren't going to suggest you treat for metals. If you choose to do that, again, it's your pool and you can do what you like, but that's up to you, not us.

    Nobody here wants you to be miserable in your pool--that's not why we all do this.

    I wish you the best of luck.

    Hey guys;

    You need to give her a chance to do her part. She knows what she needs to do (test and give info) -- let her do it, and hold off on all the posting till she has a chance to do so.

    Thanks,

    Ben
