I have some stains on my PebbleTec that began last summer and are increasing in numbers THIS summer. It's been suggested to try Jack's Magic Stain ID Kit. I read reviews on this product and there are a lot of good reviews and results, but some people said it actually CAUSED some stains in their pool that they did not previously have. So obviously now I am a bit hesitant to try it.

Has anyone actually tried this product and what were YOUR results? Did it CAUSE any staining?
 
Time to get this thread moving for you. :bump:

We know some products can aggravate a stain or metal on the surface. For example, if you rub a chlorine tablet on a copper stain it might make it darker. So perhaps a product in the test kit designed to test for one specific stain could potentially make an area with a different material or metal react. But to arbitrarily make an area stain for no reason I don't recall seeing that before.

But let's see if we can get some others to reply.
