iron stain

I have been going through the process to remove some iron stains in my liner pool since opening. So far everything has worked great! After letting the AA recirculate without filter, a bunch of dirty sandy powder appeared all over the bottom of the pool. Anyone know what this is? Could it be...

Hello! Brand new here :) Like many other newbs, I let my pool go over the winter (sorry). I am currently on week two of my SLAM and the water is looking soooo much better; however, now that I can see better I have discovered that many of the walls are stained…. I am on well water, but I...

Hello, I started trying to rectify a swamp of a pool with heavy iron staining at the beginning of May. I'm at my wits end and thinking about getting quotes to fill in the pool with dirt and never have to deal with it again lol... Long story as short as I can get it: - Pool had very deep...

Recently ended up replacing a spa light bulb, as soon as I unscrewed the light case from the wall, there flew out a bulk of dark rusty stuff from the hole. I ended up scrubbing it off with brush, which clears up the stain, but as soon as I run the pump/add chlorine, stain comes back. It's the...

Been fighting this brownish stain/residue and cannot beat it. Pool was completely clean when I uncovered it in march. Took sample to pool store balanced water. Everything was going good then BOOM this brownish stuff set in. I told pool store and they sent me home with jacks magic the blue stuff...

Iron stains with AA treatment - what should I consider "done"? I have some iron stains in my pool. I got a filter setup for fill water that should take out ferric iron. I don't think it'll affect ferrous iron, but regardless, I want to try it out. So I'm doing an AA treatment, then will...

After opening the pool this season, we found it to be stained yellow. Your first inclination is algae. Nope not that. Totally perplexed over this until it dawned on me it appears to be a metal stain! We scrubbed ourselves crazy on the pool and the stains did not budge. This is what I got to take...

We are selecting the stone to cover the face of our spa. The stone will be partially submerged in the water as well as have a waterfall effect rolling over it. We picked out a reddish Quartz but want to make sure it won’t stain from the iron. Any experience or suggestions?

Hello TFPers, Can someone help me outright or point me to a guide on which Sequestering agent to use for which metal problem with respect to pool finish? I need to do an ascorbic acid treatment to get rid of some pale-brownish stains that are cropping up in my pool (confirmed not algae) and I...

Hi all, This is my first season as a pool owner, and been having trouble with iron stains. I have a 15,000 gal pool, vinyl liner, sand filter. I finally removed the stains, using absorbic acid and some Vitamin C tabs. I also used a filter aid, a CUlator pack and a chelating agent to hopefully...

I seem to have what is either Algae or some sort of stain. My free chlorine has been elevated for over a week and have brushed daily and it does not seem to be helping the stain. When I look closer under water, it has a brownish tint to it. Any advice? Picture below, although I know it is hard...

Hi, everyone - I'm Kim. I'm here because pool stores have let us down too many times. Our pool currently has an iron stain throughout the pool. I'm certain it's iron because the Iron Stain Remover that the pool store sold us worked, it's just that it came back (multiple times - the pool store...

Hi all! First time poster, long time reader. I’ve owned my 24’ above ground pool for 7 years. I noticed discoloration on the liner after opening the pool this year and eventually discovered it was iron staining. I’m most of the way through a successful ascorbic acid/sequestrant treatment. My...

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...

Hi everyone, just opened my pool a few days ago, and I noticed a lot of staining on the floor, sides, and steps of the pool. It was resurfaced with diamond brite last July, and was fine at closing. I scrubbed with a brush, vacuumed, etc and nothing could get the stain out. Just tested the water...

Hi, I’m a relatively new pool owner (1yr) looking for some advice on what went wrong with my two attempted Iron stain treatments and how to fix the now strange chlorine levels. Sorry for the lengthy post but it’s a complex tale.... I have a 10,000 gal salt pool with SWG that had iron stains...
