    Yes, the pool companies try to hide ingredients, so they can make it seem like THEIR product is special.

    And, yes, there's a fair chance that the Metal Free is the source of your current problem. Get your chlorine up ASAP.

    Hi !
    Since I have had a metal issue every year since 2010, I think I would like to drain the pool and put fresh water in it this season. We have not uncovered it yet, but can I get some advice on how to do this and avoid any metal issues this year? Thanks
    Also, I cant seen to start a new thread...
