Has anyone heard of using "Iron out", the rust stain remover commonly indicated for water softener cleaning,on rust stains in the bottom of a vinyl in-ground, with a heater?
The salesperson in the pool shop said it works and is sooo much less expensive than ascorbic acrid or Jack's products.

I use Fe Out in my bathroom - it is exremely caustic, I wonder if it may damage vinyl. I wouldn't use it in my own pool on my vinyl liner just mayhap one of the experts tin can tell you more about how safe/unsafe it would exist - I just know information technology is very caustic and utilize it to make clean rust from the toilet tanks. BTW, I have to be conscientious when I employ it in the tanks because one time it ate away the plastic toilet mechanics in the tank - in just one utilize - just an FYI

Thank you for responding. I was thinking as y'all were about the effects on the liner. I have been doing a lot of research on-line regarding stain removal and follow-up sequestrant usage. I've decided to utilize the ascorbic acid handling to try and lift the stains, followed with an initial dose (1qt/10000 gal) of Proteam Metal Magic, and so weekly maintenance doses of Proteam Metal Magic (3oz/10000). From the literature I've read, I want an HEDP sequestrant...I believe Proteam, too every bit Jack's Blue Stuff, are HEDP sequestrants (If I empathise correctly, Natural Chemistry's Metallic Magic is NOT an HEDP, just rather an EDTA, and less constructive for preventing the reoccurance of staining). If you, or ANYONE OUT THERE, knows of a better method to follow, or better products to use, PLEASE allow me know.

Several people take been using citric acid instead of ascorbic acid recently considering citric acid is less expensive. You need to utilise twice as much citric acid every bit ascorbic acid and otherwise the process is exactly the aforementioned.

Hello Jason,

I went with ascorbic acid a five# bulk pkg for $57.50 + $7.five aircraft for a total of $65.00. I found that Natural Chemistry'south 'Stain Free' (1.75lb/$30.00 x three units of Citric Acrid) would accept cost $90.00 (even with free shipping), and if, as you say, I would need twice as much citric as opposed to ascorbic, then I'grand confused. Isn't the Natural Chemistry's product Citric Acid? If Not, where practise I buy bulk Citric Acid, in the event the already ordered v# bag of ascorbic acid is non enough to remove the staining? In the final week, I have spent, literally, hours scouring this and other pool intendance sites to the bespeak that I'g now pretty confused about a lot of pool care bug. I accept had my puddle for 17 years and never, until this twelvemonth, had any issues with staining or chemical imbalance. I opened the last week of May and could not stabilize my chlorine (46,000 gal/ used over 30 gallons of liquid chlorine and NEVER got it to hold). I have been reading all of the conflicting views/positions regarding 'breakpoint'; whether to apply liquid chlorine/bleach or calcium hypochlorite; or whether or not to e'er daze. And then I tried to educate myself about the cyn/chlorine ratios. My cyn is low and then I added 8lbs of stabilizer, cyn never budged from 'low', (this was a week ago). Shortly afterwards the 2d calendar week of opening and trying to no avail to remainder the chemicals, the stains appeared. So my electric current plan is to go out the PH at seven.2; the CYN at 0; and the chlorine at 0. I just added 160z of polyquat threescore to command algae until I get these stains out, and so I will again try to balance my pool. Any suggestions regarding following this course of action? Thank you for your input.

Yous can go citric acrid at places like The Chemistry Shop.

The well-nigh important matter you lot demand to do to solve your problem is to get a top quality examination kit. If you don't have reliable test results there isn't any way to clean upwardly the water other than getting lucky.
