Jack's Ble is mostly for copper. The pink is more all-purpose.

overnight test showed I lost 3, FC was 10 at night so I added bleach and tested an hour later ,I added too much i guess... it was 15, then early morning showed it was 12, pool is clear CC .5

I will do another overnight test tonight.

steps are very brown and liner slightly discolored from metal, I will try adding Metal Magic ProTeam today , I can get it at a local store, it has worked in the past.The Jacks Stuff I can get from Amazon but it takes a few days.

We are having an electric heater installed this week because he pool never gets above 76, so I am treating myself. Looking forward to a good summer!

thanks !

Okay then. You know what to do! After you add the Metal Magic and pass your overnight test, you may want to try the towel method here: http://www.poolforum.com/pf2/showthr...about-it/page2

How do you know its metal staining and not dead algae? When you have an algae problem, it would be normal for some brown to accumulate in the bottom as it dies from the high FC levels.
