Most likely, metals are in your water. If your pH is low (less than 7.0) and you have a heater with copper tubing, or some other source of metals, you may have copper dissolved in your water. Have your local pool supply store test for metals and if the test is positive, use a chemical like "Metal Free" at a rate of one liter per 20000 gallons.
