Hi. I had yellowish staining on my return eyeballs and fittings. My white fiberglass stairs did not show any staining. Reading the forums, I put the eyeballs in a cup of water with crushed up Vitamin C. Most of the stained cleaned right up which leads me to believe it was iron staining. Pool water was clear and my PH was 7.5, Alkalinity 110, CYA 65, Calcium 150 (vinyl pool). Stayed at these numbers most of the season. My salt generator was left higher for the hot summer, and the Chlorine readings were high for a good month. Free Chlorine 15, CC 0 TC 15. Usually I keep it at about 5-7. Why iron stains and why just through the return eyeballs/fittings? Can I just clean them up or will I need to treat next spring.
Pool is now closed for the winter.
Thanks
Rich
