Metals – Stains

  1. It is advisable to ensure that the chlorine level is 1ppm or less when starting the treatment.
  2. Add 625ml Metal Out for every 25,000 litres of pool water.
  3. Do not shock treat or oxidise the pool for a week.
  4. Balance the pH to between 7.2 and 7.6.
  5. Ensure that the Total Alkalinity is within ideal range.
  6. Brush the stains daily for up to a week.
  7. A second treatment of Metal Out may be required.
  8. When maximum results are achieved, treat with Filter Plus as per the directions on the packaging. Monitor filter pressure and backwash as required.

Removing stains from the pool:
Stained pool surfaces, especially in fibreglass pools, are mostly caused by metals coming out of suspension. The trigger is usually a sudden localised increase in pH. This may be caused by the addition of chemicals.

After metal treatments, using pH-neutral Ultra-Chlor is advised.
