How do you remove rust from pool water?

Question:We have jus topped off our pool to ope it for the summer. We have well water. We have had the pool water tested twice and all is good except it is green in color. Thre is no algae, slime or mold in the water an all we can think that it is is the rust in the water. Does anyone know what to add, or what to do to rmove rust from pool water? Thank you.

Answers:
Get a full spectrum analysis done at your local pool store. Make sure they check free chlorine, total chlorine, combined chlorine, pH, alkalinity, hardness, total dissolved solids, metals (manganese, copper, iron), nitrites/nitrates, and phosphates.

Copper is what will give your water a greenish tint. You can use a metal sequestering agent to "lock" the metals in the water into a compound that won't stain the pool or hair.

Bacterial iron is a common problem with well water. It is a bacteria that feeds on iron. It used to be a fairly limited phenomena but has recently started a dedicated spread across the US and can be found in a majority of wells that didn't have it before. When these bacteria contact chlorine they are killed, but in dying they drop the iron out of their cell structure. Unfortunately the iron they drop is an organic form and this is the most dangerous to liners and hair as well.

Only a full spectrum water test will give us the information we need to get your pool sparkling clear.
