    Marie, I do not think that Proteam sells an ascorbic acid treatment. As far as I know Metal Magic is their only stain treatment and seqesterant. NaturalChemisty does sell ascboric acid under the name of 'Stain Free'. It costs about $30/lb.

    I must have mixed it up with another product, I thought I read somewhere that you had to remove some of the stubborn stains first, getting them off the surface of the pool, so they could be removed by the metal magic - sorry.
