(148.188.152.50) 		I'm not sure if this is the same problem as the guy with the iron, but I just filled my pool and the water came out all rusty. Is there anything that I can do to clear it up without emptying the pool? Thanks

Are you sure that it is rust? What type of finish is your pool? Have you had the water tested and if so do you have the readings?

(148.188.144.50) 		It's one of those pools that has the inflatable blue ring on top. We just filled it yesterday. My wife checked it an hour before she was done filling it and everything was good. The last time that she went out to check it the water was brown. When she pulled the hose out of the pool the rusty water was still coming out of the hose. Thanks for any help that you can give me!

(69.171.160.54) 		Sounds like iron in the water. A good sequestering/stain product
like Sequa-Sol or Hasa Stain out will remedy that issue. Try not
to shock or overdo the chlorine while the water is this way, it
will only make things worse.

Good Luck!

(122.166.42.158) 		Not very sure though of what the rusty refers to. Can you share the constituents after doing the test? This probably will throw some light into the situation.

Alternatively, sparkling water pool might be a good option. It virtually is the same process the bottled water is put through, and the Silver Injection technology literally injects trace elements of silver into your swimming water to purify it. Additionally a copper element is introduced which acts as a natural algaecide.

(208.75.10.242) 		Have you checked if there's iron on your pool? I think there's no way to find its caused but to drain your pool first.
