Cisco's water does have some tannin staining from mesquite. About the only thing that can be done to remove tannins, is mechanical filtration, which isn't really practical.

FWIW, I have successfully cleared a LOT of muddy water, and even I was slack jawed at just how well Tater Pond cleared up....especially in such heavy wind/wave action on Saturday. I'd fully expected the pond to clear, but had also told Cisco that the winds/waves would probably keep everything stirred up badly. The "floc" particles were very large and easily visible when stirred up, and fell out of the water like rocks.
