So I'm in the habit of checking MSDS sheets now, thanks to the TFP. However in one case, it has me more confused. Natural Chemistry Metal Free shows 1% citric acid. What is the other 99%? I'm trying to determine if this is a HEDP sequestrant. They claim it is phosphate free, so that rules out phosphonic acid.

I have a bottle of this left over and would like to use it up this week.
 
Do you have metal stains in your pool?

From what I can tell it is citric acid and if you use this you may be dealing with it eating up your chlorine for a while until it is gone. It claims to be a chelating agent which I interpret as a remover unlike a sequestrant which doesn't remove the metals just envelopes them in the water. How it works to remove them entirely I am curious...?

Just found this in the stacks- Am I reading this right? Natural Chemistry Metal Free.
