I can't believe my iron is 0.

Of course, with all the backwashing this weekend, I need to fill up again (from the iron-laden well), but I'm going to do it today while the homemade filter continues to run, and as an added precaution, my husband filled another bucket with quilt batting and I'm going to attach a prefilter to the hose and stick the filter into the batting bucket and hang that in the pool as it fills.

We did a test in a bucket on Fri where we double-filtered the fill water (hose prefilter and Slime Bag over that) and then added bleach to the filled bucket - turned brown.

I can't believe how cheap and easy the successful course of action was. A bucket and sump pump that we already had, $16 worth of quilt batting (no longer suggest the loose stuff - makes a mess) and 72 hours!
