Apologies is this is the wrong forum, but it seemed the most relevant.

A while back someone recommended using vitamin C to remove these and it worked. Is there something I can buy in bulk at Walmart or a grocery store to scrub these? Kids are away for the weekend so it’s a good chance to hop in and work on this.
 
This link should work...even if it says robot or human...

Anywhere you can find Vitamin C tablets should work...for Iron stains. Won't work on organic staining.

If the stains are extensive you should just do a bulk ascorbic acid clean. Just know that ascorbic acid neutralizes chlorine so if you do a lot of stain removal work, even on spots, your FC will drop. You don’t want to inadvertently cause an algae bloom and then have to SLAM which will cause the stains to return.

When you say bulk are you referring to dumping it all in the water and recirculating?
