Hi John
No offense, but I'm not about to go back to my pool store!
LOL!
They are what got me into this mess in the first place!
Read my 2 previous threads ("Orange/Brown Stain" and "My Pool Looks Like An Easter Egg").
First of all, their readings were off, but more importantly, they didn't have a clue what they were doing and had me dumping ALL KINDS of chemicals in my pool (Stain Out, Metal Out, Black Algaetrine, Filter-Friend, Baquacil Shock, etc.)! Or maybe they DID know -- they made about 200 dollars off of me in the past month!
So, I won't be talking to them. Besides, I have gone completely against their instructions by switching to a bleach pool and I don't feel like arguing with them until I have a little more knowledge/experience under my belt.
No, I'm pretty sure I've got a good hand on my chemistry now; I just want to make sure that I won't mess anything up by adding the Metal Out when I add fresh water. Obviously, I am getting some iron through my pipes because this has happened twice now. Also, another member on this board who lives in my area informed me that Baton Rouge sometimes supplements their municipal water supply with local wells (My house/pipes are new -- only 4.5 years old). We have been so dry for the past couple of years, I'll bet that's what is going on.
Thanks anyway though!
