This should help you a lot. You will want to have the water tested to find out how much metal is in the water. A standard CuLator will remove up to 4PPM of metal.

You will want to test your water for metals to see what the level of metals are in your water. No it should not change the color of your water at all. You may notice the bag change colors though as is collects the metals that are in the water.

In what way exactly are they a "scam"?

You should test your fill water for metals. You may be adding metals back to your pool every time you fill it back up. Also check the chemicals you use in your pool for metals.

The newer variable speed pumps come with controllers on them that you can set the time and rpms/speeds for the different times on the pump it self. Also if you have automation some of these systems will communicate with your pool automation system.

No I did not. Sorry.

Scaletec is a great product but is a preventive product more than a stain lifter. If you have scale issues in the pool it will help to break the scale down over time. However it has to be under the water line. If it is above there is another product I recommend for that. The staining you have sound like it could be metal staining. The Scaletec with help hold metals in solution to prevent staining. Since you already have staining you may want to look at getting some Stain Free or Stain Free Extra Strength. You will have to reduce the chlorine level in your pool prior to using Stain Free or it will not work properly. After you get the stain out you can use Scaletec to help hold the metal in solution. I would also suggest getting a CuLator. This will actually remove the metals from the water but you will also need to still keep the metal in solution while you do this so it does not stain the surface of your pool again. In the future check out the Fill Fast Pre-Filter from Periodic Products. This will remove the metals from the water prior to it going into your pool. The filter cartridges are replaceable and will filter up to 10,000 gallons off water from a well or 20,000 gallons of city water.

@@The_Pool_Guide This was very helpful, thank you!

@@The_Pool_Guide Is there a way to filter out TDS that is already in the pool other than draining it?

@@Keep-on-ok TDS stands for Total Disolved Solids. So this could be salt if you have a chlorine generator, it could be metals and other minerals in your pools water. So before I can answer do you know what is the TDS of your pool water? Have you had your fill water tested? If so what what are the test results? Next do you use a salt chlorine generator? If so, which one (brand)?

@@The_Pool_Guide I know what TDS is. We have very hard well water. Just out of the hose, the TDS is 1784. I checked the pool TDS and it was 2865. It is a chlorine pool, 10,000 gal. Not a salt pool.

If you can please send me a picture of what these stains look like. You can email them to me at cclayton8392@gmail.com

@@The_Pool_Guide Okay, I will get pictures later today.

@@The_Pool_Guide Just sent you 3 pictures.

@@Keep-on-ok I am not showing them in my email yet. Can you please confirm they went to cclayton8392@gmail.com?

@@The_Pool_Guide Whoops! Wrong email address. Just resent them.

Typically if the water itself is green it is from algae. If you have a high level of metals in the water the water will typically still look normal but you will start to see staining on the surface of the pool. I would get a phosphate remover as phosphates are algae food. Also find out what the TDS of the water is. You make have a large amount of other contaminants that still need to be filtered out. If you do phosphate remover keep an eye on your filter pressure and they can clog up a filter element and you will need to take it out and clean it a couple of times. Maybe take a sample of your fill water that you used and have it tested for metals too just to double check. It would take a lot of metal in the water for the water itself to be green.

Where are you located? Are you in the USA?

Could be from copper inside pool heater, copper water features or if you are using copper based algaecides.

When you have metals in your water you want to make the levels don’t get to high. Once they exceed a certain point you could have staining. There is not really a benefit of having iron in the water as that will only cause staining. In regards to copper if you have someone that struggles with Copper Toxicity and you have high levels of copper in the water it could cause more health issues for them. Too much of any thing in the water can cause issues for your pool wether it is cosmetic or functional. They can also cause issues for bathers. When using metals it is always a good idea to test for metals in the water first. Then make sure what you are using is chelated. After you start using make sure to test your water to make sure your metals don’t get to high. Also make sure to keep a sequestering agent in your pool to prevent the metals from falling out of solution.

Thank you very much for the compliment. I still have a lot of work to do. I will have to check out your videos. I am sure they are amazing.

Thank you!

Is it a copper based algaecide? If so there are methods for removing the metal. 1. If you want to remove the algaecide and metal you can drain some of the water and add fresh water back. Make sure to have your water source that you fill with tested to see what is in the fill water.

2. If you are just looking to remove metals from the algaecide you need to have the water tested to see how much metal is in the water. There are several options and methods that can be used. I believe the best is to get a metal sequestering agent. There are several quality brands available. Then get a CuLator pod that you can put in the pump basket or the skimmer of your pool. This will actually remove the metal from the water.
