I am happy to report that our pool is 100% clear and clean. The water has been clear a few days now, but hubby just got around to vacuuming today. The pump 100% worked to completely clear the water. There is a tiny bit of staining but it's really not all that noticeable unless you are looking for it so eventually I'll scrub at it but I am honestly not that worried about it. I wish I could post before and after photos you would not believe it! And I checked our CYA, chlorine and ph levels and it's ALL GOOD. Wow. Let's swim!

And by the way the sand filter has only been up about a day so this was all from the sump pump and batting filter with the weak paper intex filter. Again. Amazing. Thanks for the help, ingenuity wins the day!

Congratulations! That is what is so great about this forum, the experiments, and the results! We can now put this in our bag of tricks as something that works to remove the metals before they go in. Thanks for keeping us updated.
