Alternatives to Jack’s Magic #2 Copper and Scale Stuff - Sulfamic Acid

[Adam_FL]

I have successfully treated scale in my pool with Jack’s #2 - sulfamic acid.

I am now helping a friend remove stains from his pool. We used the Jack’s ID kit to identify his staining. Sulfamic acid alone is going to be the best solution if we go the Jack’s route.

Is there a more efficient way to treat the staining that does not involve draining or using sulfamic acid?

No. Sulfamic acid is used to lift copper stains. The metals are still in the water and you have to drain and refill to get rid of the metals if you can safely do so without floating the pool.

Do you know how the copper got into the pool water so that it does not reoccur?
