Thanks for the reply PoolDoc - I appreciate that you took the time. I knew there would be no 'quick fix' for our problem or even a fix at all. We didn't do enough research prior to purchasing a pool. I thought you bought a pool, set it up, fired some water and chemicals into it and used it... I'm slowly and painfully learning the hard way! My husband is basking in the glory of constantly reminding me that ... " I told you so dear!" However, it is what it is and I will follow through or die trying!

I'm leaning towards options "B" and "D". I don't give up easily. I am determined to keep what water I already have in the pool, as clear as possible... for this summer anyways. I will continue to keep the chlorine level at optimum and continue to use my 'white towel, filter, sock" contraption when I notice the water starting to turn. I thought perhaps there was a chemical out there that could somewhat 'speed up' the removal process. Maybe, in time, before the summer is over, I will have succeeded in removing all discoloration manually and I will be this forums' first success story. I will let you know! Next summer I will make sure that I do not 'top off' the pool with our well water. Afterall, we learn from our mistakes.

Again, thanks for your time.
