We hope this helps you identify and remove pool stains! Like we mentioned, if it's an organic stain, use chlorine shock. If it's a metal stain, you'll want to identify the type and buy the right metal remover. And if you have a surface stain above the water, you can use a bleach-based solution for an organic stain or a lemon juice solution (ascorbic acid) for a metal stain!
I have bought your course. How can I contact you?
Thank you for helping me figure out these stains!
I have a nasty dark water line stain all the way around the top of my pool. I’ve never been able to get rid of it with anything, but the one thing I found that is working is mr. clean magic erasers. I got about half of it gone today . Went through 2 erasers doing so. I’ll go back out tomorrow to finish up.
Use an enzyme remover. Its grease from sunscreen and natural skin oils that pick up dirt and stick to the waterline of the pool.
What about a vinyl liner?
@@thomasrechenmacher8093 idk i was just saying how magic erasers got off the water line stains. Its a vinyl liner btw if thats what you were asking.
What about Yellow stains? That is what I got. Someone said it could be from using too much bromine.
we use a brand of stain remover called scorbex, and it usually gets most stains out quickly. it will mess with the ph a little though.
We had a hurricane couple years back. Pool is crystal clear. Tried brushing it several thousand times. Is this worth the try?😊
@@nickwalston1322Mine stained after Hurricane Ian here in SW Florida. Brushing shock and chlorine did nothing. They are tan stains. Did you find anything that worked?
When to add metal sequestrant? Once your water is already brown or before adding more water so that you avoid the brown Color? Also do we need to backwash after it?
Can stopping pool rx cause black stains on the pool walls & floor ? Because of the copper
My water green but clear and great on ph I think I may try this
Could be algae
Great info! Thank you!!
Just moved in to a house with a pool. It had green stains on the walls from not being taken care of. Have shocked it multiple times and they just won’t go away. Any ideas? Waiting on a more aggressive brush from Amazon. It’s a gunite pool.
Also all of your videos have been so helpful. Thanks!
Have you tried the two testing methods we mentioned in the video? Try scrubbing the stain with a chlorine tablet. If it doesn't lift at all, try ascorbic acid/vitamin C. Depending on the shade of green, it may be metal stains that won't lift with shock or chlorine.
@@SwimUniversity following everything here and my pool is looking way better. I’ll probably have to triple shock again to get the rest of it off. Thanks a million!! Now can you make it warm up so we can do more than look at it and clean it?
I moved into a house and the owners let the pool go green during closing. The prior owners dumped a few chlorine tablets at the bottom of the pool to "shock it" (didn't work). Turns out all of our stains are chlorine stains and the only way to get them out is to redo the plaster (pebbletek in my case). The video goes over normal staining and it's quite effective for thsoe stains. Seek a professional if your stains don't go away using the video's instructions. Never over chlorinate the pool.
@@sweetmcnasty That's interesting. We appear to also have 6-7 spots on the floor where it looks like they just tossed chlorine tabs in the pool. They are kind of a yellow/brown stain. I was going to try some muriatic acid on those spots.
Very helpful. Thanks!
Awesome video. Thank you
thanks for this knowledge
I have some blotchy gray pool stains in a fiberglass pool. I believe it's chemical burn from shock. I haven't seen anything online resembling these stains. Not sure how to remove them and they are getting worse.
Just finished resurfacing my pool, is all filled up, but since I have trees around me, some leaves are in the bottom. Was told by company not to vacuum for at least 2 weeks. Is the leaves gonna stain my pool??? What can I do?? Or just wait for the 2 weeks n then vacuum.
How to remove calcium deposits on the sides and bottom of a vinyl liner pool? My pool feels like sandpaper.
So how do you remove the metals from your water? Not just sequester them.
Didn’t he say it binds the metal and gets caught in the filter?
My pool was green and we got all the water out, and now there is brown dirt or a algae stains all across the bottom of my pool. How would you get rid of that
Shocking should do it if you think it's organic. But make sure it's not metal staining.
@@SwimUniversity it looks like brown sand at the bottom but I did not want to accidently chemical burn the bottom of the pool
Hi I have cobalt stains on my fibreglass pool, I was told to use. Citric acid to clean the walls. Can you advice how to use this and if it’s ok
I just bought a house with a salt water pool. The pool is stained. I bought vitamin c and it cleared up where I dropped it. Can I spread this stuff around to remove the stains? If so, how much?
Have you used a metal and stain remover yet? You'll need to make sure the root of the problem is solved.
hi every time i put my well water in the pool if i add sock it turn brown like stain , can you make a suggestion how can i fix this so i can get my chlorine level up and not mess up my pool pls, last time i fill up just left it with out chlorine to be able to keep my water clear
Ok what about rust stains and now I got fire works in the pool and stain the bottom. What would work
how to you remove Chlorine tab stains on a pebbletec pool?
How do I REMOVE WATERLINE GUNK And calcium qt the waterline?
If your adding extra pool shock to get rid of organic stains, how do you balance the water for swimming after all that extra pool shock is in your pool?
It usually takes 8-10 hours for the shock to work and then wear off. Your chlorine levels should drop down back to normal naturally.
@@SwimUniversity Thank you for responding! So far the shock didn't remove the stains, it must be metal. I will try you metal stain removal methods.
Great video! Very helpful
I believe my Pool Stains to be or an Organic Matter, and I am prepared to go the route of super chlorinating the pool, but I am a little hesitant as my system is a Salt system. Will super chlorinating the pool be a problem for a Salt System?
Not at all. You should shock it periodically. Pool store will direct you to shock for salt pools
How long do you wait for small pools when you adjust ph ? I’m getting a 870 gallon one with 1000 pump 878 flow
About 1 hour with the filter pump running
@@SwimUniversity thanks bro . Still haven’t set it up . Got cold here in the Bay Area for the next week
Algae stains?
Ascorbic, not absorbic. But very nice video.😇
Thank’s
Very helpful.
Ascorbic
🙌
How can we get a hold of you if we still have questions?
why do all these utube video intro screens look like someone got caught with their pants down?
Great video!! I have a pool with Caribbean Blue quartz finish. A quick question is it normal to have small black specks in the finish? I didn't notice them right away but now it's sunny out I can see them clearly. I tried to scrape them off with my finger nail but they appear to be imbedded in the quartz. My PH and Alkalinity is perfect. My chlorine is a little high but just swam all day so I added a little extra. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. I just subbed too.
As long as it’s embedded, you’re fine. Just make sure it’s not Black Algae like this: ua-cam.com/video/PjvEOVphgWQ/v-deo.html
@@SwimUniversity under further inspection its black alge...ugh. I just cleaned the dirty pool filters and now I'm off to get pool shock. Is it OK to use a wire brush on a quartz pool?
This tells us how to prevent stains but doesn’t say how to remove them other than metal stains.
Someone anyone please help!! 10,000 gallon In ground pool I’ve dumped almost 3-400$ of chemicals into this pool and it’s still green with a yellow tint running filter 24/7 levels are all good. Can’t see bottom still. I do have well water and there was a metal pipe and brick sitting at the bottom of the pool for about 2 years could that have
caused metal in my pool. I’ve shocked , flocked , liquid chlorine ,clarifier, organic eating stuff , I’m about to throw in the towel 🥺 my bday is Saturday and really wanted the pool ready I’ve been at it for 1week 6 days 7hrs 10mins 8seconds!! Any advice?
I have well water too. After having a pool for 30+ years, this is still all confusing to me. My water and liner never come out crystal clear. But the clarity is "good enough". I have never come upon the perfect combination for this, that, and the other thing.
Did you clean your filter?
How old is the filter? Clean cartridges or replace or replace the sand whatever you have there.
How do I get rust stains off my concrete pool deck? Thanks.
Because it's a metal stain, try using a lemon juice solution or ascorbic acid
@@SwimUniversity thanks!
acid
Tanning oil is a Nightmare to pools. Let me tell you this now. Sunscreen is usually more forgiving but for the ladies laying on floaties saturating yourselves in tanning oil…. Let me tell ya you are destroying your pool.
