My pool is 15,000gal so I ordered the 5lb bag. $30 is not too bad if it works :wink:
So I guess I add about a pound at first and see how things go.

I have a 20,000 Gl Pool,all of the sudden it started showing stains that look like rust,i purchased a 2 LB bottle of Stain Remover {ascorbic} from Leslies Pool supply,pretty expensive ,but it worked like magic,the minute the powder hit the floor of the pool the stains were gone...AMAZING.Just lower the ph to about 7.2,mave a low amount of Chlorine,and run the pump for 24hrs,in my case runing the pump wasant even necessary,the stains were gone instantly,the price for the 2lb was expensive at $48.99 plus tax,were did you get the large amount so cheap,pls let me know,like to keep some on hand

I get mine on Ebay just search for Ascorbic Acid (vitamin C)
You will find it's hard to get a decent FC reading for a while because the AA will stop it untill the FC uses the AA up
Just keep testing and adding chlorine slowly, not to much at once
You will also need a sequestrant to hold the iron in suspension
