    Default Removal of Iron Stains in the Summer?

    I have brown stains on my pool and suspect that is is iron because our city water has about 38 micrograms/liter of iron. I understand from reading about stain removal in the forum that the ascorbic acid process would work. I will verify the identity of the stain by testing.

    My question is whether I should wait until cooler weather or proceed now in the peak heat of the summer season?
