Rust and Iron Stain Remover (Ascorbic)

Ascorbic Acid is a fast way to remove rust stains,  iron stains and cobalt stains from swimming pool and spa surfaces.  Our rust and stain remover is made from food grade product.  It is a gentle acid which only removes stains in your pool.  Brushing will not remove metal stains from a pool surface, you must use Rust and Iron Stain Remover.  You must start with your pool water below a chlorine level of 1 ppm for best results.  After you use the stain remover, you should use Mega Maintain sequestering agent to hold the metals in solution and then use a CuLator 1.0 or a CuLator Ultra 4.0 to eliminate the metals from the water so the pool stains will not return.

Where does the rust and iron come from in your swimming pool?  Most often, iron enters your pool from well water, irrigation water, salt water generators, and from the stones around the pool.  Bricks, pavers travertine and yellow or red colored stones add iron to the water when the acidic rain water hits the stone, it dissolves the metals and drops those into the swimming pool.  The other place iron enters the pool is from rusty pipes, and cages around the pool.

When the iron is oxidized in the water, it turns your pool green or brown.  When the pH goes up too high, the iron plates out onto the walls and you get a brown or orange colored stain which you can’t brush off.  That stain is oxidized iron or rust on your swimming pool walls.  To remove the stains, you must reduce the stain back into the water.  Using Rust and Iron Stain Remover will help lift the stains and can actually turn your pool color back to normal.
