    Thanks watermom It is because of this forum that I learned what I know about stains - Ben helped me to know that I could take charge of my own pool

    Thank you so much for all your help! I used to be a slave to the pool store guy, this forum has given me the confidence I needed to fix my own pool problems. Thanks again.

    Paul.

    Update:
    I lowered the ph to about 7.2 and let the bromine level come down to about 1-2 ppm. Added 32 oz of metal out and ran the pump on "whirlpool". When I checked the pool in the morning, the staining was gone! pool was as blue as could be. I am amazed at how simple this process was! Thanks so much for all of your help!

    Paul.

    Ditto!

    And thanks, Marie. You seem to just have a real feel for the metals issues.
