    Default Re: Brown water in pool- from Iron

    today i woke up to brown water again. Called HTH and they said i must not of added enough Metal Control for it to take care of all the iron in my water. I did add what they told me. They said that I should take my water to pool store and get it tested, then they can tell me how much to add. Does anyone know if this is the correct advice b/c i'm about finished with my pool. I have been trying to swim in it since memorial day and haven't been able to get it clear. Please help.

    I hate to tell you this again, but you can either follow HTH's advice and the pool store's advice, or you can follow our advice. You cannot "cherry pick" because they will tell you to do stuff we will tell you not to do.

    I said in my last post:

    You will find that their advice differs from ours. You cannot split the difference or you WILL get a mess.
