Proteam Metal Magic is also HEDP (1-Hydroxyethylidene)di phosphonic acid), It is a metal sequestrant and also used as a corrosion inhibitor in many industrial applications. It keeps the metals dissloved in your water from depositing as stain but does not do too much to existing stain in most cases.

Actually I called anthony pools in manalapan. They have it. Going to get it in 10 minutes.
Here is my vitamin C test. You can see a square that I made with the tablet. You might say the pool does not look that bad, but its the pic. The pic makes it look better.
Some pics are when the pool was cloudy. Took almost 3 weeks to clear.

From what I have been reading there may seem to be a link with all these trouble pools this yr.
I leave my pool uncovered with a leaf net only. Plus on a well. If you read some posts it seems people with trouble are uncovered??? Well??? Possibly someone can put it together... Possibly I was fighting iron algae. Is there such a thing????

Re: Pool is clear finally, Now the liner is stained.
I don't think it is the "uncovered" part that is the problem. I don't cover my pool in the winter and neither does Al (Poconos) who is one of the other mods. Filling from a well is a problem for most people though.
Don't give up. You've come so far. Ben will be back around later and will help get you through this! If he hasn't come back to this thread by tomorrow morning, bump it back up to remind us! He gets pretty busy and he has LOTS of irons in the fire .............
Thanks.

OK Got the pink stuff.

It says initial dose 1 qt for 10,000 gal. I read on the forums that more is better. I have a 6000 gallon pool. I am going to throw the whole bottle in.
Wish me luck....
I will take pics to let you know.
Oh could I swim with this stuff???? It does not say.
