    I had Leslie pool test my pool water for copper and iron (they use Taylor test equipment); they told me (and showed me the sample) my water was perfectly clear--not even a trace of either copper or iron.

    Would this mean, after I get this stain lifted, and sequestered, I wouldn't have to use maintenence dosages in the future?

    No, it just means that there is no dissolved metal in the water right now because it is already deposited as stain. the ascorbic acid treatment will cause it to redissolve back into the water.
