New Liner/New Fill From Well

[jrsdws]

Seeing the iron settle pretty quickly after adding Borax. I'm getting an orange rusty looking sediment around the perimeter of the bottom of the bucket. Lots of iron I guess.

Started bucket test on my secondary well...which is what we typically use for topping off the pool every year. It's an old shallow dug well as opposed to a very deep drilled well like the main well I tested first.

I'm glad I've been using the old one because it's off to a great start!!! The water is very clear and so far nothing settling after several hours.

Installed the new liner this morning and I'm filling from the well with the clear water. I also reclaimed some of the water that we drained just to make sure there was enough to keep the pool up.

I ran and bought a Hayward Bobby Sock Filter that you put on the end of the hose and I've started the bucket test over with the well that has all of the iron.

There is a slight discoloration in the white bucket still, but so far I don't see any iron settling to the bottom. It must catch a lot of it. It's supposed to be a 5 micron filter.

With that said, I know my old shallow dug well with the clear water won't be able to keep up with filling the pool. It'll need regen time, etc. Has anybody used the Bobby Sock and do you think it's ok to start filling out of the other well with it?
