iron stains

So I have been going down the rabbit hole to remove and keep away the iron stains. So many questions and clarifications I want details on but for now let’s stick to this one thing at a time. I have treated my pool with ascorbic acid and it lifted the iron stains. Now all the Fe3+ is soluble...

We closed our pool last year with some iron stains on the vinyl liner surfaces. We identified the stains as iron by using Vitamin C tablets. It was too late in the season to bring the pool to 0 FC and then wait to SLAM for closing. So we closed the pool and just opened it back up. After doing a...

I keep getting iron stains. Spot treatment with Ascorbic acid takes them off, then they redeposit. Rather than sequestering every week, I’m thinking of just using my pool water to water my lawn (which I need to do anyway), and refilling my pool with fresh water, thus exchanging a few hundred...
