Brown stains spreading

[gerri]

Thank you so much for helping me. The pool guy is no help at all and if I had not found this forum I would have just been reduced to living with the stains, which really ruins it for me. It's terrible for everything to look dirty when the water is actually very very clean.

Ok, hopefully tomorrow my AA will come IF the chemisty store are quick shippers. So it won't hurt keeping my Ph low for this long?

No, not if it is 6.8 - 7 is neutral - if it bothers you, then you can take it up to 7, by adding a little borax. You will get your pool nice and stain free - Just make sure you keep your ph on the low side when you start to balance the water after the stains are gone. High ph along with high chlorine is what makes the metals fall out of the water, so I always keep the ph low when raising the clorine, if I see some stain start to come back, then I add some more sequestering agent. Keep me informed on your progress.

I will definitely let you know how it all goes. And again, thank you VERY much. I hope my AA comes tomorrow.
