I can't drain... We are on a well... with high iron content... in the country. We just had the well replaced two years ago (re-drilled). I was worried about causing issues with the well again so we used a water truck and it was $300.00 in water. It wound up costing more than the pool.

I'm willing to try the phosphate remover as an experiment if it will help PoolDoc.

What else will be required? Will I need to shock the pool. Can I still borate?

I have not filled the pool with any other water other than RAIN water that has been filling the pool over the past two months. Is it possible rain water is high in phosphates?

If this was a "regular" Florida summer, and I had to deal with evaporation, I would have used the well but only for a few inches of water at a time, and ran it through a pre-filter.

PoolDoc, is there a link to where I can get the phosphate remover and kit?
