Put a paste of Vitamin C in a sock and rub it on the stains. If it lifts it is iron staining.

I did AA treatment on my pool yesterday and opted to completely drain and refill so that I don't have to constantly add sequestrant.
Thanks for sharing the document, do I need to remove my DF filter if opting for this option of adding AA or is it better do put vitamin c tablets in a sock even though will take a lot longer

Well, but more to it than what I thought, not sure about using this at all may have to wait until the pool warms up and put some vitamin c tablets in a sock and walk around the pool, another posting said to use shock to remove the stains

It sounds like you have iron in your water and iron staining is returning that is not a chemical imbalance the only way to get iron out of the water is to drain it once it is in solution or you can try and filter it with polyfill

I’m sure I know where it came from I found a screw off the screen at the bottom l, reading the document link it suggests Natural Chemistry® METALfree is an acrylic copolymer with citric acid.[8]. Is it correct it won’t effect my clarifier or do I need to add the below to soak up the iron then next filter backwash it should come out
The top sequestrants are:

Filters do not filter out iron in sequestrant.
You can try using polyfill in your skimmer and see if it turns brown indicating it is catching iron. If polyfill does not catch the iron then you will need to drain the water out.

Polyfill in skimmer - how do you get it out without losing all that captured iron?
I've had good success using polyfill in the skimmer to grab some iron in my pool water (I'll spare you the saga). However, getting it out of the skimmer, I feel like I'm losing half of what's been captured in the poly when I pull it out. Anyone have any clever tricks to help with that? I've read...

Polyfill use during AA treatment
I have had staining issues pretty much every year of the 5 years I have owned the pool. These stains are tannins from all my oak trees, iron, and copper stains. I normally start off the season when water is still cold with an ascorbic acid treatment and I am about to do it again. This will be my...
