How Do You Remove Rust In A Swimming Pool?
A swimming pool can be a blessing on a hot day, but maintenance is required to make your swim safe and refreshing. Rust is unsightly and can contaminate the pool water as well. So, in addition to skimming debris, regulating pH and adding chlorine, make sure to promptly remove any rust stains from your swimming pool. Get a rust-removal chemical such as ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Test its effectiveness on the most accessible portion of the stain. Treat any localized stains with the rust remover. If you can’t apply the chemical with a long-handled swimming pool tool, you may have to hold your breath, dive down to the affected area and apply the rust remover manually. Treat widespread rust by reducing the chlorine level and then adding ascorbic acid in larger quantities. Run the pump and filter. When the pool is clean and clear, rinse the filter, balance the pool’s pH and restore the chlorine level. Start some scrubbing. In fact, if chemicals have no effect, the stains may not be from rust
