Understanding Dissolved Metals

There are always metals present in water.

The metals in the pool water are constantly being built up over time in a variety of ways, such as adding certain pool chemicals, heavy rain, and the use of borehole water. When there is a high metal concentrate in the water and chlorine is then added, this can result in a green pool due to the chemical reaction between chlorine, copper and iron. To resolve this problem, follow this simple process:

Always remember to get the basics right first: Test the water; clean out the weir and pump baskets; backwash and rinse. This is to ensure that you obtain the best results from the products added. Learn more here.
Turn the system to bypass/circulate, add the Aqua Pro Metal and Stain Remover into the weir.
After the product has been evenly distributed in the pool, turn your system onto filter and run for 12 hours.
Backwash and rinse after 1 week to remove all the metals that are now caught in the filter media.
After backwashing, if the pool is cloudy, add the Aqua Pro Clarifier for a crystal clear pool. Learn more here.
