We bought an Intex pool to try and get the feel for managing a pool before we commit to having an inground pool installed. We have extremely rusty water (well water) so we thought if we filled it through a hose connected to the kitchen sink it would solve the problem - NOPE. The system we have is not large so turning the water on before bed and letting it run all night was a huge mistake. We cotinued to rejuvinate the water softner, but still have extremly brown water - can't even see the bottom of the pool. I got some quilt batting and secured it around the filter and also tied a tube sock filled with polyester stuffing to the water thing that is coming back the pool. Just did this last night and it does appear to be pulling out quite a bit of the iron/rust, but I don't know how long this method will take and I don't know what to do about chemicals. Please help.
