Pool Metal Stain and Control

Pools with high total dissolved solids are especially problematic for controlling stains, because the salt content of the water is naturally high. Salt water is corrosive. Chemicals frequently behave differently in high salt solutions. And plaster/concrete pools may be more soluble in salt water than in fresh water. Salt water pool owners, need to be especially diligent in monitoring water chemistry.

Unbalanced water can facilitate the release of metals and surface staining. Since metal levels in pool water are constantly rising, the water eventually becomes saturated. And, dissolved metals are then released onto the pool surface, resulting in stains.

In order to minimize metal staining, it is important to determine the concentrations of various metals in  pool-water, (or metal load), and protect the metals from oxidizing on surface of the pool, and reduce the concentration of the metals in the water.
