Stain Removers Guides

Is your pool showing stubborn, unsightly stains that are tough to remove? To restore your water to its sparkling best, learn about the most common types of pool stains, what causes them, and how to get rid of them effectively.
Types of Pool Stains
Organic Stains
If leaves, acorns, or algae sit in your pool for too long, they can leave behind brownish discoloration even after removal. These are known as organic stains, and they’re caused by organic materials that remain undisturbed in the water.Metal Stains
Metal stains are often rusty or reddish in appearance and usually come from metals in the water, as well as corrosion from ladders, pipes, or other pool equipment.Iron is one of the most common culprits, as it’s found in many pool chemicals and plumbing materials. To check for iron stains, try the vitamin C test: hold a vitamin C tablet against the stain. If it lightens or disappears once the tablet dissolves, iron is likely the cause.
