    Check if the stain comes off with vitamin C (you can put a couple of them in a sock and rub it over the stain) If it comes off then you will be able to get rid of it with a stain treatment that has ascorbic acid. But if they are not bad, I would use something like metal free first, let your filter run 24/7 for a while. Sometimes the stains will come off, even though metal free doesn't take stains off pool surfaces, it sometimes works if the stains have not been there long. I can't answer why, but I have seen it happen. If the stain remains, you can go for the whole stain treatment. Let me know if you have any more questions, and I will be happy to help.

    Default Any specific kind of vitamin C?

    Do I buy a bottle of Vitamin C from the grocery store (for human consumption) or are you talking about something sold at pool stores?

    You can just use vitamin C you get at the drug store. If you need to do a stain treatment you can buy ascorbic acid (that is what vitamin C is) in bulk - here is a link:
