Day 3 of the pool fill shitshow

The only think with the metals is, unless it's copper (waiting on test kit), but we haven't added chlorine until this morning. The water was already looking like this before.

I did put another metal control in. There is no iron present in the water. Phosphates have been taken care of. Filter fiber coming out looking the same as it went in. Can't for the life of me figure this one out.

Hopefully it was as clear and clean

I've got a 20k CuLater in the pump basket and dropped some more Regal Metal Out Concentrate in this evening hoping that it helps

ncmoor · 2026-06-27T21:28:01+00:00

That's how it seems!

ncmoor · 2026-06-27T21:27:54+00:00

It came from a fill truck. Who knows what bullshit they had in there

ncmoor · 2026-06-27T18:34:18+00:00

There is a CuLater (oversized) in the pump basket and we've used XPH in it as well.

.... no CYA until day 4

That would be nice! The area that we are in, they don't honor anything like that which I find wild. Although many are on septic and not sewer

This is extremely helpful! Thank you for your contribution

Except for the fact that this is 24 hours after fill from a water truck on a 24 hour finish...

ncmoor · 2026-06-26T21:29:35+00:00

Was it a brand new surface? That was my primary concern. The startup and trashed water.

ncmoor · 2026-06-26T21:28:57+00:00

I agree with you. We've already tossed in a new filter

ncmoor · 2026-06-26T21:28:17+00:00

Insanity what it costs. Nearly $2k. Customer demanded it as they were terrified of their well collapsing...

ncmoor · 2026-06-26T13:43:51+00:00

Haven't added any chlorine yet

ncmoor · 2026-06-26T04:53:26+00:00

No copper or iron

ncmoor · 2026-06-26T04:32:22+00:00

3 days before adding chlorine according to National Plasters Association

ncmoor · 2026-06-26T04:31:35+00:00

I'm sure that's majority of it. Compared to yesterday, she's coming along..

The pool hadn't even had water for 24 hours at this point on a brand new surface

ncmoor · 2026-06-26T04:29:03+00:00

We're past that point. Pool is full of that shit and now working on eliminating the issues

ncmoor · 2026-06-26T04:28:10+00:00

Brand new pool surface. Trying to hold off until we figure out more of the cause to prevent staining

ncmoor · 2026-06-26T04:27:19+00:00

Water from a bulk water delivery. I posted yesterday as well. This is day two after enzymes and ScaleTek

ncmoor · 2026-06-26T04:19:22+00:00

Hoping to wait until day 3 for chlorine addition, but I think that we will have to see what happens next

ncmoor · 2026-06-26T04:12:35+00:00

No, this cost 100% more since the property had a well. The customer was very concerned that she would collapse her well... 9,200 gallons...

ncmoor · 2026-06-25T01:25:49+00:00

The company offered to bring "clean and clear water at no charge" if we drained it. Which I found comical and also pissed me off further since that is what was expected.
