Hi
I have an above ground pool and have a stain on the floor liner that will not go away. I have been trying everything and even went to the local pool store.
Sequence of events:
Opened my pool and vacuumed it and notice a brownish stain.
Tried brushing, no luck.
Tried Shock, no luck
Tried algaecide, no luck.
Bought some PH up and reshocked, no luck.
Went to the pool store and bought Phoenix Stain Out, no luck.
Back to the pool store and brought a sample of water. They tell me I have some metals in the water and sold me Phoenix Stain Erase. One bottle of 32 oz. The directions say you need 1 quart pet 10,000 gallons. My pool is around 18,000. I wondered why they only sold me one bottle. Given I spent $30 on the one bottle and was already home I figured I’d give it a try. I fist soaked a sock in the chemical and then trying rubbing it in the stain thinking it would be more concentrated. That didn’t do anything so I proceeded to empty the entire bottle, end result was no luck
Tried rubbing a Lemmon In it (vitamin C), no luck.
Tried rubbing a Vitamin C tab on it, no luck.
Tried leaving a chlorine tab in the stain for a little bit and rubbing it with the tab, no luck.
I cannot seem to find any other solutions online and I don’t know if I have a lot of confidence left in the local pool store As they already seem a little unsure.
I added some pictures if the stain and of the test strip results. Note that I just added shock before I took the water test.
Thanks!
