Answer 1

To get iron out of the water you are going to need professional help!!!!! Go to the nearest swimming pool store with a sample of the pool water. Make sure you explain to them you think you have iron in the water. They should be able to help you get your pool to normal. Iron can stain the surface of you pool there are several chemical companies that have a stain removing process that is very successful. Jack's Magic is one and Natural Chemistry is the other. Both have a stain identification kits you can use to calculate what process will work best. The company you take the water to should be able to help you through that process.

First of all don't run to a professional for help all you need to do is go to the grocery store or hardware store and buy IRON OUT.

Here is our favorite product:

A popular product, especially where water is hard and contains Iron, is something called ferritabs. They were produced previously by Hydrology Laboratories, a division of Aqua Clear Industries, in packages of 10 per box, and designed for sand filters or de filters. See the photo of the old tabs and packaging, this for de type filters.

A regional supplier has purchased the rights to produce Ferri Iron Tabs so once again they are available.

Ferri-Iron Tabs are water treatment tablets that help eliminate the discoloration caused by iron and manganese.

They have been formulated for use in all filters EXCEPT diatomaceous earth filters.

These double-action tablets have been formulated to help decolorize water that has been colored by IRON or MANGANESE. These discoloring insoluble materials are removed from the water by charge neutralization and flocculation.

This non-toxic formulation is completely soluble in water and contains no caustic or corrosive chemicals, diatomaceous earth, alum or any chemicals that will alter the pH or chlorine level of the water.

Directions: Make sure pool water has a pH of 7.2-7.6, and contains a measurable amount of chlorine by adjusting with chemicals as necessary. Chlorine will not effect the Ferri-Iron Tab action on Iron or Manganese. Make sure the pool filter is in good operating condition and has been turned on.

Drop 1 tablet for each 3000 gallons of pool water into the skimmer basket. In large pools that have multiple skimmers distribute the tablets.

For best results, add the required tablets over a period of a few hours. Keep the filter operating. In order to permanently improve the water quality, the filter must be thoroughly back-washed within 18-24 hours after treatment.

In pools that have severe problems, repeat dosage and back-wash procedures after 24-48 hours.

In order to prevent a recurrence, when adding make up water and 1 tablet for each 3000 gallons or less of fresh water.

Answer 2

Iron salt? I assume you are talking about iron the mineral. The method to get rid of iron depends on several different things. First the type of sanitizer you are using and how high the iron level is. So if you can send another question with the that information and how many gallons of water you have in the pool I can answer your question in better detail.
