What types of stains are addressed?
Water TechniX Stain Remover is designed to tackle a wide range of common pool stains, including:
•Rust marks
•Iron and metal stains
•Salt or mineral stains and marks
•Organic stains such as leaf and plant marks
•Faint algae-related stains, including black spot shadows. These stains are effectively broken down and lifted from your pool surfaces, helping to restore a clean and clear finish.
How does it work? The formula uses a specialised blend of active ingredients to chemically react with stain particles. It breaks down and dissolves metals (like rust and iron) and organic materials (such as leaves and algae marks) without damaging your pool surfaces. This process loosens and fades the stain, making it much easier to remove without harsh scrubbing or abrasive methods
How do I apply it?
For best results, we recommend preparing your pool water first:
Chlorine level: Reduce to 1ppm or lower (high chlorine can reduce effectiveness)
pH level: Adjust to 7.6 (this helps activate the stain remover)
Application steps:
Directions: Concrete / Pebble Crete / quartzon / Glass Beads : Turn off the filter. Apply stain remover directly onto the affected area, do not pre-dissolve. Leave for 24 hours. Regular brushing is recommend to remove stain. Once stain is removed, then turn the filter back on, super chlorinate, and adjust pH to 7.6. Do not swim until the water is clear and pH is balanced.
Note: Stubborn or older stains may require 2-3 repeat treatments for complete removal.
Is it safe for surfaces?
Yes! Water TechniX Stain Remover is formulated to be gentle on a wide range of pool finishes, including:
- Concrete / Pebblecrete / Glass Beads
- Fibreglass ( care should be taken )
- Vinyl ( Additional care should be taken - we suggest to contain within a skimmer sock and rub the area )
- Quartzon
- Tiled surfaces
It safely breaks down stains without damaging or etching your pool’s surface when used as directed.
What is the active ingredient?
The stain remover uses a proprietary blend of Oxalic Acid and Citric Acid, two proven ingredients that work together to dissolve and lift stubborn stains effectively and safely.
