Iron Stains

[Phillbo]

Was blowing my landscaping and blew a little fertilizer into my pool (dumb move fertilizing before cleaning the yard ) .. and now I have 2 little stains that I assume are from the iron in the fertilizer. Small spots about the size of a quarter each that look like rust.

How do i remove? I think I remember someone saying something about placing a vitamin tablet on them ???? Or am I whacked

You are remembering correctly. And, good to see you back here on the forum this year.

Are there ascorbic acid tablets you can use to spot treat small stains? I've got 3 on the bottom of my pool that are probably a bit smaller. I've been putting off treating the pool because dropping the chlorine to 0 and dealing with ascorbic treatment seems like a HUGE project that I didn't think was worth it for a few small spots.

Thanks for posting the thread, anyway... guess it's time to get my google on.

Do I set the tablet on the stain and let it dissolve or use it to scrub the stain?
