Stains on New Marcite

[PoolDoc]

Thanks for the update. I'm glad to have the info, and I'm glad it worked for you.

Do you mind listing exactly which products you used?

Thanks,

I used the test kit ($10) and ID'd the stain as calcium scaling. Then used 64 oz (2 bottles - $25 ea) of the magenta stuff and about 23 lbs ($35 / 5#) of the calcium scaling and copper stain remover. After a week I added 12 more onces of The Magenta stuff and will contunue to add a maintenance amonut for a few weeks. They have a written process in PDF form that is easy to follow. I can send it to anyone that is interested. It is not cheap, but was fairly successful.

OK, checking through MSDS:

Magenta Stuff => PAA, polyacrylic acid (calcium carbonate dispersant)
Stain Solution #2
(The Copper and Scale Stuff) => Sulfamic acid (interesting!)

Thanks (please check that what you used was "Stain Solution #2" or "Copper & Scale Stuff")
