Hi Evan,

I just wanted to ask if there's any possibility of the greenish color coming from sand? We don't live far from Lake Michigan, and the soil around here is sandy... shot in the dark, but wanted to ask.

And also in case it matters - the orange rusty stuff did wipe off of the basket, I just had to rub it vigorously - (otherwise, I would've tried the vitamin C thing).

We live out in the sticks, so I'll have to try and find a nearby pool store for testing... might be difficult, but I'll find out today.

Thanks - Glen
