    Thanks Marie!

    I am sure I will be freaking out and have other questions as I do this. I'm really scared of the cloudy water because I have so much staining.

    I really appreciate your help!

    Feel free to ask any questions you have. Let me know if the stains don't come off right away with the ascorbic acid, because there is more you can do if they don't. Just keep the pump on cirulate and let me know. Most of the time the ascorbic acid is enough - sometimes the stains are more embedded and need a little help, so don't worry if they don't come right off. Just be sure to add enough sequestering agent, and don't worry if the water gets cloudy - it will clear up.

    Thanks!

    I just found out that my Asorbic Acid will be here Tuesday. I guess since it is coming from Arizona it takes a week to get to SC and we had the holiday so that slowed it by a day too. Next time I will order from the chemisty store, it seems to be in SC. Too bad I didn't notice that when ordering! Do you remember how much they charge for shipping?

    One more question for now (I'm sorry if I'm driving you crazy). After the treatment, and in general.. how often do you add more sequestering agent?
