I am going to do the ascorbic acid treatment and sequestering agent to remove reuse stains in my pool. Is it better to drain the pool after treatment is done? Or, can you balance out your water after. It has been a couple of years since it has been drained and I believe my tds is runnng high. Do I need to replace my cartridge filters after treatment is done or can I just clean them? I plan on using Leslie’s stain treatment and metal free for sequestering agent.

The power company put up a big metal pre rusted pole at the corner of our property. When they drilled the holes in it, I believe some of the metal shavings blew into the pool. A couple of days later I had the stains.

Try to ID the type of stain first. Rub a vitamin C tablet on the stain to confirm its iron or not.
