The RETURN of the Orange/Brown Stain!

[edarling]

Leslie's Pool as a product called Stain Remover - it is 2 pounds for $34. It is "concentrated ascorbic acid" Is this actually different than the product you referenced on the chemical store website? Of course, aside from price IE - is there such a thing as "concentrated" AA?

I almost bought it for the quickness/convienience, but remembered I bought some stain remover for 75% off at the end of last season. I always have spring stains from filling/top off with well water and shocking, so I stock up at the end of the season for the next spring once the algae is finally done and I don't need to shock. My pool looks great after the process, but next time, I wonder if I should just by this stuff.

Ascorbic acid is ascorbic acid! Here is the web site that sells 5 lbs for $45. You can use thier stain remover, but you are paying more for the convenience. I'm not sure of the shipping cost.

Is the Ascorbic Acid approach ok to use with cartridge filters? If not, then what?

It is fine to use with ANY kind of filter. I have a cartridge filter and have used it.
