Fix for stained blotchy mottled colored plaster?

[dalun]

I am a DIY pool newbie and am seeing our colored plaster looking more blotchy and mottled than last year. The live oaks over the pool finally finished their leaf drop followed by their pollen/flower_pod drop. Do these pics look like calcium deposits? My CH bounces around from 250-450 (per Leslie's AccuBlue). Assuming the stains are calcium related, I was intrigued by this no-drain Stain Removal Kit from poolstainremovers. Talked to the owner/inventor and he says it is a one of a kind product used on over 20K pools that works well for even our stained colored plaster. It takes 3 weeks to run its course but swimming is OK after 1 week. Looking for any feedback on the kit and hoping some members can share their experience after using it. Thank you.

poolstainremovers does not list what chemicals are in their magic potions. That is not acceptable.

Cloudy/Foamy Water After Calcium Treatment

I think this is a bit of a unique scenario, but long story short, I had some major calcium issues. Calcium flakes were floating around my fiberglass pool, constantly filling up the vacuum, and there were lots of white stains on the shell. TFP gave me some ideas, but nothing worked.
