This year has been terrible for Live Oak pollen. I’m normally able to skim it before it settles to the bottom but while on vacation for a few days some managed to accumulate on an underwater ledge and has stained it. The coating we have is Pebble Tec. I’ve tried scrubbing it with a wire brush with no luck. Anyone have any experience at removing organic stains like pollen? Thanks in advance.

If it’s organic from pollen it should fade over time if your FC level is good. I have had a lot in Ga also, seems worse this year then normal

I have this too! I thought it was some copper stain or chlorine stain after I added SLAM level amount before going on a trip. I have an abundance of live oak trees and when I came back from vacation my pool was riddled with catkins. I’ve since cleaned it all out and the chemistry is fine but the stains are there.
Yesterday evening I SLAMed my pool and got the FC level up to around 20. When I got home from work today, nearly all the stains were gone...without me doing any scrubbing. I’m gonna keep the FC level up for a few days and try to scrub away the rest. I’ll post the results. Good luck!
It take a few days and a little Vitamin D ( sunlight ) usually for me but they should go away.
