How to get iron out of pool water. Effective and cheap. Intex pool.

Intex Ultra Frame Pool getting the iron out of the pool water.
Question, after you do this and get clear water. Do you switch back to the regular filter on its own? Or does this bucket need to be the permanent filter system?
Tried this and it worked like a charm. Thank You.
A good sand filter and horse and a half pump does this job just fine. Secret to clear water is a powerful pump
Your bucket is upside down the holes should be up to have water going true the bottom parts before going out of the bucket
8 years later that bag of poly is $20 at Walmart
Thats insane! Inflation sucks!
The white tape on the walls of the pool, is that to keep the sides from bulging and also did it come with the pool or is that something you added? Thank you.
Sorry for the late reply, but I believe you are referring to the support vinyl that runs around the pool that the uprights run through. This is part of the pool setup and supports the middle of the upright poles. Hope that makes sense.
Could I turn the bucket completely upside down, and eliminate the need for the hose apparatus going into the back of the bucket and sealing it etc. just putting it in the bucket and letting the water fall into the bucket with the filling in there, and the holes in the bottom?
does not work...
This works! Just cleared up our pool in 48 hours!!!!

Polyfill?
It is typically used for filling in pillows, cushions, etc. You can find it at Walmart, Target, etc. Comes in a large bag. Soft and fluffy.
Did u brush the bottom to pick up the rust while running the filter?
If needed, or noticed, yes, I would brush the bottom initially, but from there, just cycling the filter with the media in the bucket should take care of the rest.
We fought iron in our water for an entire summer . This year we still had iron and we decided to try this method . The only difference is that we didn’t run it though our pool pump . We used a submersible pump and just connected the hose from the submersible pump right into the bucket . It just eliminated all the fittings and connections and we already owned the submersible pump . It was amazing ! It worked like a champ ! Thanks for the idea ! We were so thankful to have the iron gone !
Glad it worked for you.
Thanks for commenting...I was thinking of doing exactly the same thing
great idea!!! we will do it this weekend for sure! Also I have a question, after filtering the water for 12 hours, can I add some chlorine for swimming pools? or something else to keep the water clean and crystal clear, thank you!!
You do still need to maintain proper sanitation levels for clear and healthy water.
Hello, i am new to owning a pool. Would u be able to explain how the pump and hoses work and which specific hose goes into the bucket? Thanks
Hi, what filter are you using on your pool?
The basic pump that came with the pool. Nothing special.
How long did it take to fill ur pool with well I’m looking at getting a 16ftx42in pool
It takes a little while. I do it in 3 hour increments and take a break in between to give the pump a rest as to not blow the pump. Take your time on that part. No need to rush it and than have to pay $$$ to replace a well pump.
ONE IMPORTANT SUGGESTION!! .... from using the "bucket trick" .... get at least get one (2 if possible) Ratchet straps or bungee cords, to straps across the front of the lid on your bucket... BECAUSE ! --->> the lid will eventually start to give or pop loose & you could start to loose small pieces of the stuffing or polly fill into your pool... or the whole lid could pop off from over time, the water pressure & the positioning of the bucket laying on its side (wear & tear) could cause your lid to give... don't strap the lid down to tight, this too can cause the rid to buckle... but YES! other than a few lil "live & learn" misshapens, than this is a MIRICAL WORKER... it works sooo well that we leave ours hooked up to the filter now 24/7... it just takes so much off the filter pump & cartridges work.... **SPECIAL NOTE- Not to mention, it's very soothing & calming to listen to, that our neighbors, whom lives a unnoticeable away from us, has asked in the past, in a joking way, if we could turn our water fall back on lol... they say they live to sit on their front porch late of an evening & listen to it, that it sounds like a waterfall or creek running
Our hose to our pool (influence vinyl 24ft round) doesn’t fit with our shop vac hose it’s too small. Any suggestions?
THANK YOU FOR SAVING OUR POOL! The morning after our 5000 gallon pool installation was complete and I had added chlorine to the well water we had used to fill it, I woke up and was horrified to find our beautiful new pool was completely brown with stuff all over the bottom. After researching and watching this video, I put the poly fill stuffing I had in our skimmer basket and kept pump on. Every hour I took out the poly fill and washed all the brown out of it and reused it. Added some clarifier and stain away because I had skipped that step. Vacuumed the bottom of the pool twice, and I just woke up the very next morning and the pool is completely crystal clear! WOW! The liner wasn't stained after all, It was just so dirty that it looked that way. THANK YOU for making the video!
That is awesome. It is always good to do these things with the least amount of chemicals.
This totally works... Amazing! I didn't bother with a lid or the extras. I just drilled several holes on only half of the side of bucket ( starting from about 4 inches above the bottom allowing any residue to collect @ the bottom & not come out while water pours from bucket). Then I just used bungee cords to secure the bucket sitting straight up on top step with no lid. Tied the pump hose to ladder so it would bend right into the top portion of bucket & viola! I changed the pillow stuffing 3 times in 3 days for good measure. It only took 1 day to transform the water, but wanted to be thorough. Once you have your water crystal clear you'll want to clean out your pump & put new filter in! I used a small piece of this pillow fill to wrap around my new filter too. By 2nd week I see no more hints of orange, yay!! Thanks Again!
Glad to help.
I started with the sock filter method for 2 days, but it was taking too long, so I used this method and used a kitty litter bucket (square and sat on a ladder because I don't have a pool ladder) boy! it cleaned up my rusty water in 12 hours. Amazing!
Awesome. I know, something so easy.
It looks like a great idea! I have had problems with my well water and pool for years. A couple of questions. Do you have water coming into your pump from the intake and the outtake? Does this put more stress on your filter system? I have sand filter system along with a salt water chlorinator. So I am thinking I may have to disconnect my Salt water system in order to set this up? What do you do when you need to add water to your pool? Thank you for this video and information! Greatly appreciated!
I am currently using this method, only been running about 30 min. I'm slightly worried about stress on the pump but I'm going to let it run overnight and will update in the morning! I'm also concerned that there isn't enough circulation since the outbound filter hose flow is now restricted by the bucket, but I'm periodically stirring up everything.all the comments are saying 12 hours and you're golden (or clear n this case)... so I'm trusting the process.
Im sure you have the answer already... But just in case... It cannot stress your pump whatsoever. It's just a second filter system. So instead of the outtake going straight into pool, it pours in & out of this bucket method & then into your pool. Super easy & no stress. To fill your pool: do the same thing... If using a hose, then it would be from hose to bucket & into pool 😁.
I am sorry for not responding, but for some reason I was not receiving notifications. I know you have your answer already, but wanted to apologize anyhow. Hope things continue to work for you.
Do you have a link to that fabric or filter stuff u used?
Will this work for cloudy pool
Ion T Couple questions. Is polyfil the same stuff used for pillows and stuffed animals? Do certain brands matter? How tightly packed is required? Any idea why this works and regular filters dont work? And lastly...i have HORRIBLE iron on my 12 acres. To the point i bought a 2500gal tank to catch rainwater. Do you think a setup from the well usiing the polyfil to fill up the tank would eliminate most iron??
I wonder if this would work for yellow alge, since it goes right through my sand filter.
This worked awesome for us too removing the iron coloration of the water. It worked in 1 day (overnight). The only issue we ran into was the lid kept popping off our bucket. I had to ratchet strap it on. I may have needed a few more drilled holes to relieve pressure, or the lid/bucket were not a tight enough fit.
Yes, I drilled 2 holes in my bucket and used a zip tie to keep my lid on and the filling inside the bucket
Thank you so much for sharing this video . We did it and it works!! Overnight we had clear water. I am so grateful . Question ..how do you heat ypur pool water?
Have you used the same pump that came with the pool?
We live in northern Minnesota with well water. This absolutely works! We have saved so much time and money with this trick. Works even BETTER than the big expensive filters that took way longer to clear our water. Love this hack!
What is an "iron curtain" for your well?
It's a whole home water filtration system specially designed for wells with high iron content.
Do you run this in filter mode or in recirculating or rinse?
I just use Iron Out, it took about 5 small containers of the dry stuff, so pricey.
Tell me more???? What did you do? How did you use it?
@@jenking4394 I just add it to the pool water dumping around the jet discharge, guess the bigger containers are about 1/2 gallon. It takes about 5 minutes to become completely clear. For some reason have to redo after a rain, which makes no sense. Am thinking about using the above technique with the fibers in a leaf net under the slide discharge. Years ago called Iron Out to see if I could put it directly into the water well, they said no problem, but it was not designed for that type of use. So less toxic than chlorine.
want to be sure we are doing this correct as we are setting up above ground pool this weekend. Fill the pool up with the well water and then use this method to to take the iron/brown color out of the pool. We purchase a saltwater system with a sand filter, we connect this to the sand filter? Will we need to keep replacing the sand? The next day it should be clear and then we add the salt? thx
What is poly fill?
Dude! Awesome vid! Just wanted to know if you still chlorinate the pool after filing?
This really works. My pool water is from well. After adding chlorine it became swamp. This filter is amazing. After 24 hours water was cristal clear. Thank you for video.
glad it helped.
I’m on city water and my water has a green tint to it coming from the hose, but we do have cast iron pipes. The first time it filled it was perfect and blue then drained it and it’s ugly.
Hi all, here is a fast and cheep way to do it if you have access to an old sump pump, a large container and some old pillow or blanket stuffing :) czcams.com/video/MtCSmlp6wEU/video.html

This is really working. My pool had so many rust its color is dark red. After using this diy filter for like 5 hours i started to see the bottom of my pool. I did have to clean the filter halfway through though because my pool had so many rust. Thanks for sharing this! If i haven’t seen this video I wouldn’t knoe how to effectively remove the rust.
It works I did it with water Gallon n my water it's much cleaner
How many times did you change it out. I’ve had my running for a few days and it’s still not completely clear
One time a week And ones it's Clear you can do twice a week It is all up to you but that what I do to mine
@@aridahivelazquez4013 i just rinse mine out every few hrs
You need to clean the filtering material several times during the process. The heavier the iron, the more I would rinse the media out.
@@lont3927so update it worked, I had to keep changing out the bucket everyday it was so bad.now there is iron that looks like rust pieces sitting at the bottom of my pool I'm trying to filtering out
I did this 2 years ago when I set my pool up and it worked. I wonder if this year I can just hook my hose to it and fill the pool up with it that way I don’t get my filter as dirty with the iron sediment.
We’re you able to just connect your hose to it and fill it up that way? Did it work?
Jessica Gurich - Unfortunately it didn’t. I learned that when the iron water enters the pool through the hose it’s in a ferrous state. When it’s in that state is does not stick to the material in the home made filter. However, once chlorine is added to the water it changes the iron to a ferric state which means the charge of the iron increased which I’m assuming is why it causes it to attract and stick to the material in the home made filter. It’s a chemistry thing that is slowly coming back to me as I write about it. So basically it needs to be chlorinated for the filter to work.
It sucks 😔 I’ve tried sooo many different things and spend so much money on chemicals for this pool and I don’t know what else to do. I just emptied it to try it a different way. So I’m going to refill it and try this way hopefully it will actually work. Thankyou so much,
Jessica Gurich - No problem I’m happy to help. I was in your shoes two years ago when I first got my pool and I understand how you feel. Trust me, the filter really does work so there is hope.
Hello. As Christa said, the filtering definitely works at very little cost. I have done it without fail every season.
Awesome idea 💡 Have you considered making a filter housing from 6”pvc and fittings? You could probably use a shower floor drain grate and fitting for the outlet and others to connect via pump. Is the cloth your using in place by the lid of your bucket?
Yes it is.
I'm getting ready to make one of these tonight. Our pool is almost full. We have a lot of iron in our well. Our pool is orange-brown at this time. My question: Do I need to put any other chemicals in the pool at this time, or wait until tomorrow after this iron extraction process is complete (hopefully successfully)? I'm really hoping this does the trick.
You can start filtering it right away and add chlorine/shock later, or right away. It’s up to you. I would shock it right away if it was mine.
Looks good , just flip the bucket so that the holes are on top so that the iron settles to the bottom and it doesn’t leak out ....
Thank you!!!!
Glad it worked for you.😀
Very smart u should have show how u put it together
