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. For more information on removing pool stains, check out our complete guide on how to treat pool stains.
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.
Doheny's Stain Remover is a granular formula that is designed to be used on all types of pool surfaces. This product is easy to use and was designed to quickly dissolve into the water when applied. To use Doheny's Stain Remover, simply dilute the product in 4-5 gallons of water, then distribute the solution throughout your pool. The powerful cleaner will make tough-to-remove stains on the pool surfaces disappear! This affordable stain remover is available in the following two sizes. Doheny's Stain Remover, 2 lb. (one 2-pound bottle) and Doheny's Stain Remover, 8 lb. (four 2-pound bottles)
The Blue Stuff from Jack's Magic is another great option for high-performance pool stain removal. This #1 recommended formula is safe to use on any pool surface and will efficiently remove unwanted metals in the water like copper, manganese, and iron. It will also handle scaling and staining on older pool surfaces. The Blue Stuff is an excellent product for getting your water in great shape, especially at pool startup!

Is your pool full of ugly stains that are difficult to remove? If you want to get your pool water back to it's sparkling best, read on to learn more about the most common types of pool stains and what causes them, and find out how you can get rid of them for good.
Types of Stains
Organic Stains
If you’ve ever left a few leaves (especially certain types of oak) at the bottom of your pool for a little too long, you’ve probably noticed that even after removing them, there are remnants of brownish coloring left on the bottom of your pool. This is an example of an organic stain. Organic stains are commonly caused by leaves, acorns, algae, and other organic materials that are left undisturbed in your pool for a period of time.Metal Stains
Often characterized by a rusty color, metal stains can usually be traced back to metals in the water or metals from pool ladders and equipment that the water has broken down over time.
