Thank You so much! I just tried to get a reading but the FC must be extremely high, the water turns red not pink and I gave up after 100 drops, I will try again later on today.

The water is still clear BUT the stains are still visible wherever I couldn't reach with the ascorbic acid, will this eventually clear up I am ready to go buy more as I am under pressure to make it look good by Sunday for a party.

I am ordering more for the future from amazon thank you for your link! THe metal free was put in the pool without my knowledge this morning , when my husband saw the stains still in the pool today, Its not the citric acid new one, Ive used it before. Hope it doesnt make it worse.

SO moving forward...
Today I will get Polyquot and add it, Is this to prevent algae growth when the cl drops?
I will look for liquid metal stain as well for immdiate use

I am ordering the kemtek from amazon and ascorbic acid and culator after reading your link.
To get the pool looking better until all this arrives, I guess I will just add the ascorbic acid again, hoping it will eventually get to the center of the deep end, I do not anticipate any swimmers since the water is so cold.
but I need it to look less offensive by sunday....
Am I on the right track now?

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
