Me again...we have a 20x40 kidney shape vinyl liner pool. Opening the pool this year I had to add quite a bit of stuff to get it balanced. I use a local pool store for testing. They are very good. At some point after adding calcium I believe the stairs turned orange. We added a stain remover according to their instruction and it took it out immediately. Got the water back in balance and the stains reappear slowly. Vitamin c takes it away immediately but they come back. For 12 years we had a nature 2 cartridge but based on what I was reading I removed it last season. I have seen info about the cuLator product to add to the skimmer to capture metal. Is this a good product? Trying to understand...the metal will be released from the pool surface with other metal products or vitamin c in a sock but it is still floating in the water and will cling again. The water is balanced but I am planning on taking another sample to them to test for metals. Any suggestions and help appreciated
