Chem Geek or Mbar - are you there? Iron test question.

[labdi01]

That's a lot of math, Chem Geek!

We do have staining - but we had a brown pool over the course of several days - on 2 separate occasions.

5 was the highest reading we'd gotten. Right after we filled and it turned brown, it was only a 3. It couldn't have gone up 1.5 times when significant amounts of new water hadn't been introduced. So, I agree with you CG - it is suspicious. Not to mention the fact that the boy who did the test looked all of 12.

I no longer have the desire to know what the iron level is. I think I was just caught up in it because we fought it for several weeks. Truth is - it's not interfering with anything right now, so who cares. If water turns, I'll filter it out again. Done. Moving on.

Thanks for putting up with my neuroses!

Sounds like you have a good handle on your pool at this point. Time to move on and just enjoy it now. Don't fret over every little speck or your pool will end up being all work and no play. Glad Pool Forum was able to help you. Now time for you to go have fun! Good luck.

Thanks Watermom.

The forum has been vital to our success. I'm sure I'll have other things crop up - but for now - we're almost there!

Marie,
What do you mean your picture turned up? If you are talking about your avatar, I've been seeing it for days.

This is the first time I saw it, but I tried to upload it a couple of days ago, and it says it failed

Weird! I have been able to see your avatar for days now! Wonder why you couldn't see it?
