What method is best to remove metal stains?
Metal stains are usually dark and have no texture and do not brush up. Copper can cause stains that are green, turquoise, grey or black. Iron can stain the surface a rust-color. Manganese can cause dark brown, black or purple stains. If you are not sure what kind of stain is on the surface of the pool, take a cotton sock or stocking and put some granular pH Decreaser in it and lower it over the affected area. Hold the sock directly on the stain for one minute. If the stain lightens, it is a metal stain. If that does not lighten the stain, it is likely organic. Consult your professional Simplicity pool dealer for treatment recommendations. To remove a metal stain, use Simplicity Stain Remover. • For best results, use Stain Remover when the chlorine or bromine residual is less than 0.5ppm. Stain Remover can also be used in Clear Comfort® or other biguanide pools. Use 1.25 lbs. per 10,000 gallons. • Wear rubber gloves to handle product.
