In the middle of a long long slam (in week 3+), I really let the pool go after a winter. I've got some stains that are just not wanting to come up with brushing and only get a little lighter when scrubbing with something like a magic eraser or something.
Metal stains or something else?

That looks like iron staining on those steps. I would rub a Vitamin C tablet on those steps to see if it works.
I appreciate it. Do I need to do anything to the water? I know the potions store would have me do weird things but I've left them behind.

Dont have any vitamin C around the house but I'm going to try to get some today and test tomorrow. I will post here with an update. Appreciate any help at all.

If isolated, use the sock and vitamin C method to remove them.
If widespread, then an AA treatment. But you might want to wait until late fall.
