How to Identify Pool Stains

Identifying pool stains correctly is the most challenging part of what we do.  Getting this right every time takes experience and expertise.  Although different types of stains can appear to be very similar in color, the products needed to remove them can be very different.  For example, even experienced pool guys will often misdiagnose stains.  This is one reason why we have more than 450 pool guys and pool stores as regular clients.   Also, many pool stores often suggest various expensive ‘all-purpose’ stain removal products that have little or no effect.  They suggest these products because they often have no idea what the stain. In short, they are using your hard-earned money to experiment with different product options.  One of the most common questions we hear is how to properly identify pool stains.
 
Remember, if stain products are not matched to the right type of stain, it can make the staining even worse and even harder to remove. Our customers often ask us to recommend the best stain remover for their pool.  The answer is not as simple as suggesting a single product as it depends on the type of stain.  Don’t worry, after a decade and 10,000 pools, we know how to identify pool stains, remove them, and keep them gone.
