    Well, The pool guy was right. After two treatments of EZ-Loc Dropout (2 Quarts each) We used their clarifier and everything dropped to the bottom by morning. I vacuumed it up to waste and it look good, still need to vacuum the remaining particles but the water is clear! Just a little cloudy from sediment. I have to vacuum to waste one more time then add two bottles of shock and we should be swimming by morning! Yeah!!!

    I would like to thank everyone for all of their help, my pool is almost clear to the deep end and getting better everyday. My advice to anyone with metal problems... be patient and persistant.

    Congrats! You are right, it is POP and persistance. Once you understaind your own pool, and the reasons for the staining, it will be much easier for you to keep ahead of the water. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

    Bonni,

    Congratulations! Your results are encouraging, and I could use some encouragment right now battleling my own water problems.

    Also - I want to appologize for stepping on your post early on. After reading through the post I realized that I used your post to solve my problem. Sorry about that! Glad to hear you could see the light (to the bottom of the pool)!

    Not a problem, like I said ... have some patience, I was also at a point where I never thought I would be swimming in a clear pool, but with persistance and staying away from the pool store (Except for the pool magnet) it all worked out and it will for you too.
