Not sure whats wrong

[aylad]

You can usually ask your water system office for test results on your water. Alternately, you could take a water sample into any local pool store that does water testing and ask that it be tested for metals. When you dip a glass into the pool and get a water sample, does it appear brown in the glass?

Also, take the lid off of your toilet tank in the house--do you see brown or orange staining on the inside of the tank?

Yes the sample water I get with a glass is brown tinted but the water in my tank is not and there is no brown staining there.

Do you have a filter of any kind on the water that comes into the house?

It may just be the breakdown from the leaves if you had a lot of leaves in your pool. Run your pump/filter 24/7 and see if whatever it is will filter out. Check your pressure on your filter before you start and watch and see if it is rising.

No filter. I thought about it being leaves but the staining is so bad it will not wipe off. I do see the pressure increasing from morning to evening when I back wash. Maybe I need to just be a little more patient.
