How to Effectively Remove Stains from Your Pool
Using a pool stain remover is a great way to take care of unsightly stains in your swimming pool. With Doheny’s wide selection of stain removers and stain preventors, you’ll have no problem removing organic stains that come from leaves or debris sitting at the bottom of the pool. You’ll also be able to easily treat rust stains that form from having metals in the water. We carry all of the chemicals you’ll need to restore your pool surfaces to a beautiful finish and prevent stains from occurring in the future.
A Quick Guide to Removing Stains from Your Pool
Before you apply a pool stain remover, you should first ensure the pool is clean and balanced, and that all debris has been vacuumed from the water. Though many of our pool stain removers are safe for all pool surfaces, you should always test the product in an inconspicuous area before applying it to the rest of the pool, and always make sure you’ve read the manufacturer’s instructions on dosage and proper application.
Allow the stain remover to work for the recommended time, avoiding pool use until the process is complete. Before using your pool again, make sure that the treated area has been rinsed thoroughly with clean water, and if any residue remains, you can use a brush or vacuum as a final step. If stains persist, you may want to repeat the process or try a different stain remover. Following these steps will help you effectively apply a pool stain remover and restore the beauty of your pool.

Removing Metal Stains From Your Pool
While seeing metal stains in your pool is displeasing to look at, the issue is actually a common occurrence among pool owners and can easily be removed with products like Doheny’s metal out. For pools with larger, more invasive stains, consider using Doheny’s extra-strength metal out.
Metal stains develop when materials like copper, iron, and manganese enter the water and begin to oxidize. These metals can enter the water through various sources, such as well water, metal pool equipment, run-off, and metal-rich pool chemicals. Additionally, the oxidation process can be further exacerbated by water with high-chlorine levels or unbalanced pH.
