    Aquadoc Stain & Scale chemical base

    I’ve been fighting iron stains for the past several years, but it’s getting better every year with the combination of AA, polyfill, CuLator, sequestrants, and some dilution help via rain the past couple seasons where I’ve had to pump water out of the pool.

    New to plaster IGP and struggling

    I've had numerous above ground pools, with no problems. Our IG plaster was filled last week. The fill water looked green and the sides are now stained light brown . The builder suggests I throw in a couple of bottles of Stain Away and a bottle of Jack's Magic*. I've done enough reading to know...
