Add the well water, they sell a chemical that removes minerals after you fill it.
When filling pool with well water, I put a thick white sock over end of garden hose. I also have a filter on my well pump and the sock helped tremendously! I was told to do this by the pool store clerk where I take my start up water sample. Much easier to maintain this year after start up.
I have a well with very high iron content. I've tried cartrige filters they didn't work. Made the water real clear. But if you add bleach to your wash, you will have nice looking red socks that use to be white. I have found that a sand filter will clean the rust form my well water. No more red socks for me unless they are store bought. Anyway my sand filter is a concrete box with two resivores one for clean water the other for the rusty stuff. I have two pumps one to pump the dirty water in the other to pump the clean water out. The dirty water side has two tons of sand and gravel that I picked up a the concrete place in the town near me. About a half a ton of small pea size smooth gravel in the bottom and ton and a half of sand on top of that. The berrier wall has 5 small holes about six inches from the bottom. Dirty water goes in on top through the sand, through the gravel, and out the holes to make clean water. The sand and gravel cost me about $45. and I had to haul it my self. You could make a smaller version out of a 55 gallon barrol and a little sand and gravel. But If your looking to fill your pool, Plan on a lot of work to do it this way. Sorry, If That didn't help much.
add a quart of metal out or something similar to it and run continuously for 24 hrs . It wont get it all out but it will lessen its effects/ Be sure to always add water through the skimmer when adding well water to a pool. That way it goes through the system to help elimanate hard water metals first before its sent into the pool
Iron can be removed from water in several ways, but it is better to use a certified iron filter. There are many types of iron filters and the filters have different features. You can choose the iron filter you need from here.
Use a sequestering agent for Iron removal.

run it thru a sand filter, or fiber filter
You do not treat pool water hardness with chemicals. If you have hard water in your area then you need to know what the allowable maximum of water hardness is before the water needs to be changed. You remove or reduce the hardness in water by draining and refilling the pool. K
You can use Metal Free from Natural Chemistry32oz. for a 20000 gallon pool.
Your pool water may have turned green even after adding Fresh and Clear because of metals in your water. It is likely copper that is causing the water green. Your pool store will have products available to remove the metals and clear your water up. You might also have algae if you are not putting enough chlorine in the pool.
its, IRON
Iron is not soluble in water.
Absolutely do not mix shock with bleach. there are chemicals specifically designed to remove Iron from the water. Ask your pool supply store. Hatawa
Have the water tested to ascertain the cause (organics, iron, etc.) If it is organic (algae, etc) you want to shock the pool with chlorine. If it is iron you want to use a chelating agent, available in your local pool store, to remove the iron from the water before you shock..
Any iron in a swimming pool is likely to cause staining. Visit your local pool store and have it tested and based on the results of the test they can provide a sequestering agent to help remove the iron.
yu lift it up
It can. Well water has lots of minerals. Iron, zink etc.
drain it
Try casting a flocculant let it settle for a couple of days and then vacuum the bottom layer of water to waste you will see the layer you want to remove on the bottom of the pool. check with your pool shop for a good brand of flocculant.
There are simple test strips for iron by Aquachek and others. You can also take a water sample to your local pool supply store for testing.
Iron in the fill water and you probably added chlor right after filling. Filter the water for 24 hrs then add chlor. There is a product made for iron in the water. It is a chealating agent that keeps the iron in suspension until the filter can filter out the iron.
No. Boiling water kills bacteria but does not remove most chemicals.
Remove some or all of the water
Yes you can.
