Well we were at about 2' of water last night and installed the skimmer and return. I did add some pucks in the floater yesterday AND we rigged up a small sand filter from a different pool and ran the hoses over the side to start filtering water. We were not diligent in watching for our triple filtering system late yesterday afternoon and they were expended, rust began to get through so the water got a brown tint. My hubby put some Iron Myte for Pools (Metal Out) in there - with the filtering, we have started to see that clear up already.

Thanks for the help on this. Its actually staring to be more like a pool and less like a workout each day!
