Hi there, I have a dark stain that appeared in my newly finished plaster. I did some research and what I found is quite unsettling. The pool builder office rep said they think it is a loose screw and they will have someone come out to look at it. I don't see where it could be any kind of screw unless she is thinking it dropped in the pool from the automatic cover install. The stain is right where the bottom of the pool curves to go up the wall. I sure hope it isn't from IMG_2715.jpeg
 
If its just one place it could be a few things. Looks like iron to me?-
- a piece of fertilizer blown in from the lawn when it got done?
-something dropped in that spot that was metal, like a hair elastic?
- a thin area of plaster and that's rust from the rebar? <--easiest one to check: take a magnet and hold it to the spot and see if there is "pull" from the magnet.

Take a sock and put a small handful in it with chewable Vitamin C tabs. Bang them up just a touch and then hold the sock to that spot for just a few minutes. If it lifts the stain, hooray!
