Hello!
We have a 26 year old, 14,000 gallon, gunite pool. It has unsightly yellow staining, but we've been told it's nothing major. There are also a lot of metal stains on the floor of the pool. This house was just an REI, never owner occupied, so there's a lot of tlc needed. I read the article about ascorbic acid, but was wondering if it is possible to spot treat each stain?
The pool has a Northern exposure and a big shade tree over it. I just noticed some green under the lip of the pool deck. You can't see it unless you're in the pool. Can't reach it and see it at the same time out of the pool. The pool itself doesn't have any algae on the walls, floor, or in the water. I sprayed some vinegar and brushed off what I could. I tried power washing, but it was just taking off the paint. We are planning on painting the pool deck, but not yet.
My question is, is there something I can use to clean it while I'm in the pool?
I've attached photos of a sample of the rust stains, and the greening.
TIA
Elizabeth
