My Metal Out instructions don’t make mention of having to have FC=0, could that be right?

[Rockstead]

I’m just trying some local store product callled Metal Out, but I’m questioning the fact that it doesn’t have any special instructions, it just tells you how much to add to your pool.

could this be correct? I’ve often read that FC=0 and PH=7.2 and to to keep your filter on re-circulate.

so just looking for opinions before I add it

Metal Out is a sequestrant that will keep metals in solution in the water. It will do little to lift metals and staining that has already deposited on pool surfaces.

FC 0 and low pH is part of the AA treatment to lift iron stains. Metal Out will not do that.

I have what’s most likely iron based stains from iron fence welding that occurred right near the pool.

move attached pictures of the product from my local store, it uses the name metal out but it’s not the same metal out that people generally refer to here.

Can't say what it might do without knowing the chemicals in it.

If it contains ascorbic acid or citric acid then it can lift iron stains.

How effective would those chemicals be done n a balanced pool, it didn’t mention lowering FC.

I don't think they care. If it is ineffective you buy more.
