Woke up to a bunch of rust looking stains in my pool. Took a water sample to my local pool store and they said I had a lot fo copper in my water. I attached the report. I do have a lot of trees surrounding my pool and mulch bed with sprinklers (I attached pics so you can see the set up). That might be the problem? Anyways any advice on how to remove the stains would greatly be appreciated.

The only way for copper to get in the water is for someone to put it in there. What products do you use to maintain the chlorine?
The pool store test results aren’t reliable, even for copper testing. I’d get a jacks stain ID kit and find out if it really is copper and then make a plan after that.
And would recommend getting your own test kit and not rely on Leslie’s anymore. Here’s a link. Swimming Pool Test Kits Compared
