Before and after images of pool stains
This page shows pools that have had stains removed with our treatment without draining the pool or acid washing. Also, our clients did not have the additional costs of refilling the pool or adding new chemicals after an acid wash. Importantly, all images shown in this gallery are completely untouched and unedited. In fact, our clients have taken most of the images and sent them to us. Most of them used one of our DIY kits to remove the stains.
