No heater but we have a solar blanket which keeps the water 30+°C. We have not had the source water tested so I might do that. We have only seen the problem the last 2 years and we have been in the house for over 5 years so if it was the source water surely we would of seen problems before?

Hi all, I have a persistent problem I hope someone can help me with. Last summer (Australia, so around December 2011) I started noticing all our bathing suits were starting to show green stains after a swim. I took a water sample to my local pool shop and the guy tested it for Copper and the reading was quite high so it was decided that this was the problem. I use a 5 in 1 chlorine which has algecide so that is where we thought the copper might have been coming from. I treated the pool (all 70,000 litres of it!) with several bottles of stain remover over a few weeks to remove the copper and the levels dropped to an acceptable level. Even after that treatment, we are still getting green stains! I do not over chlorinate my pool so it can't be that surely? Any ideas why we still get the stains? I have a concrete pool, like i said 70,000 litres, with a sand filter. Any help would be great, cheers.

Hi everyone, I am looking to get a solar pool blanket but I am confused what is the best type? - Darker or lighter colour? - Bigger or smaller bubbles? - Thicker or thinner material? Could someone please tell me which of these parts of the blanket is better for heating the pool? Thanks!
