You need to add this product to prevent any iron stains that may come from your well water but you also need to add your chlorine. This product does not take the place of your chlorine. It will not make your water cloudy. It is an awesome product!!! Before I started using this product I was constantly fighting iron and rust stains in my pool. Now I have NO MORE!!!!

I have well water too and it contains metals. Sometimes if I let the water get too low and have to add water, It will turn green from the metals. When I add pool magnet plus it makes the metals drop to the bottom of the pool and clears the water. It works really well for that.

We filled our 20,000 gallon pool with our well water (which has a ton of iron in it). When it was full the pool was orange. We used chlorine and pool magnet plus and the water was clear in 8 days. The pool magnet helped the iron not stain the liner or stairs. If you just want help with cloudiness, this is not the product for you. I would overcompensate with Clarifier.

I'm using a floater in mine with the 1" tablets. It only takes 1 or 2 tablets at a time to keep the chlorine up and I've had to remove the floater a couple of times because it got too high. I will say, it has been a great pool so far.

I am not sure what else you would need without knowing what kind of pool you have, water type, and issues you are trying to correct in your pool . I would suggest getting to a pool supply store and have a water test. Now this pool perfect and phosfree product does contain a clarifier. This product is a regular maintenance chemical that helps keep phosphates low. Phosphates are what algae feed off of. This will not remove or kill algae from the pool. This brand does sell pool perfect by itself which is the strong clarifier.

That is exactly what I did, and it works just fine. I spoke with an employee at the pool store and he said there should be some chlorine in the pool. The system will maintain levels. So far I have been quite happy with system. Make sure you buy a water conditioner, so calcium doesn't build up so fast on the salt cell.

Hey alexis Yes I believe you will be fine If you are concerned try drawing a gallon or two and place it in a glass container in the frig or just put in sunlight on your counter it will provide additional purification. I hope that helps! and congradulation for making a healthy decission for your family! Flouride and chlorine are a huge problem in our water supply! Richard

Please tell me more about this. We stopped using these filters when we noticed that when we boil the filtered water it becomes cloudy and stays cloudy. Our unfiltered city water does not turn cloudy when we boil it. Something is in the filters and is not noticeable until after the water is boiled. ThanksDavid

absolutely not! It is fabulous. It actually balances with your chlorine to get rid of other mineral buildups, cuts the chlorine use in almost half. We use 1 of their tablets to every 3 chlorine in our pool and never have any problems anymore. We used to get areas of green algae around the filter and drain before . I highly recommend it.

my algae growth is always much less in winter and I run my pump and pond 24/7 365 so I would leave it on as long as green water appears. If you remove it and in a few weeks cloudy water appears put it back on. i would check with manufacturer to see if there are temperature specs that should be noted. I have not gone through a winter with this product yet. I removed a big tree that now means a great deal more light to the water surface.. we'll see.

It will if you add too much to your pool. It does go away. I find it works better for me if I use the whole bottle I do not have any algae problem. My pool is a play pool so is shallow and has not dropped in temp below 88 degrees all summer. This was causing me grief with algae until I used black algae killer. Try adjusting how much you are using.

It will be a bit cloudy for a little while until the filters get rinsed thru well enough. Be sure you have completely drained the tank once if not twice. A water tester will help you verify that it is working. Ours was cloudy for a little while but quickly became very clear.

Yes, I have two pool men that live on the same block as I, they explained that chlorinating granular kill germs better then the bromide does. But make sure that you use only one and not to mix them. I only use one cap full at a time and my spa is clear and clean

First, I would ask how you know you have enough salt? Second, I was having that issue so I just purchased a Taylor testing kit to insure that I did. Also, you need to make sure you keep the unit extremely clean so that it can generate the chlorine for your pool. I am new at this and just learning so I am no exoert.

Perfect. We have well water with high iron content. I put in algacide & about 1/2 bottle of vitamin c tablets and our pool water stays perfectly clear. I run my salt system 2 hours a day. If it rains and water turns green just add more vitamin c.

To be honest,I don't think it would be a problem. Might want to take a sample of the well water to your local swimming pool supply store. they can tell you right away how hard or soft the water actually is.

just a couple light drops of Dawn will do. anymore than that and ur water will look cloudy.

I don't know. Maybe you can contact the manufacturer directly. If they are talking about the dissolved ion, chlorine could come from salt which is sodium chloride NaCl. This may be listed so as to prevent precipitates from forming which could cloud up your water. Hard water has calcium carbonate in it and free chlorine could form calcium chloride which will form a solid. Usually when I think of chlorine I think of pool chlorine, which is toxic to life. But that is a chlorate, ClO3, chlorine with oxygen.

As soon as you get the salt level in your pool to the specs this will produce chlorine. You will have to monitor it to find the proper amount if time to run unit but it works great. I suggest a chlorine stabilizer you will run the unit less with it. Good luck
