I'm headed out within the hour to buy a Metal out product which I'm praying will help with this pool water....

But try that Vit.C sock and see how you make out....it sounds as though we're both in the same boat...gotta love that well water !!!!

But and there always is a but, there isn't any staining. I suppose I will just wait and see what the pool store test shows and go from there.

I guess I am just at a loss right now because I haven't seen things change like they have in the past. I keep expecting to come home or wake up and see a significant difference and know that I am on the right track, but I don't.

I will post my test results later today.
