We had this happen after xtra-chlorinating our indoor pool. It immediately turned the clarity of "iced tea". My background in chemistry made me aware of what was happening, so I understood a simple "cure". Throw in a couple paper cup fulls of pure citric acid (white powder, available online at most chemical supply houses, even Amazon). Iron(III)chloride is brown, but Iron citrate is colorless. The pool clears just as fast, right before your eyes!
Unrelated question about vertical cold joints. If I pour concrete retaining wall one section at a time leaving rebar sticking out to tie into the next section and keying new wall into the old one, is it likely to leak and stopping me from installing stone veneer on top of the cold joint successfully? Is there a method to do this successfully? Thank you
That happened to me recently. I have heavy iron in my water. After several days and a homemade filter I got it crystal clear. Then I shocked it again and it turned right back to that brownish orange.. is that normal? I filter out everything..

So … no mention of the best products to use to remove the iron?

Love your videos! Do yoh know of a device/filter that can go in line of a an auto fill for minerals and calcium? Thanks in advance
I do not. A water softener system is the only method I am familiarnwoth to start either hard water and end up with soft water.

You need metal removing chemicals. Chelating or sequeatering agents.
I use city water and mineral turned brown after I shocked it 😢according to my test strips all of my ph and alkalinity are still minimal to low
Definitely iron in your pool water. Have a teat for iron / metals
First of all, a daycare shouldn’t have and be operating a swimming pool. Little kids will drown, making brown water a non-event by comparison.
