Stains from pool salt!!!!!! I am not happy!

Evan, since I think the same thing just happened to me to with "pool store salt", I just added some sequestrant right away. I didn't mess with the PH 'cause I'm not brave enough for that stuff yet. I did brush the stains every day and one day they seemed to be gone. I think the trick is to do something right away before it gets set in "stone".

Now, I'll be extra vigilant when adding salt or new water and make sure I have sequestrant handy. Yeeesh...it seems strange to have to sequester a pool instead of a jury.

Well, I got rid of the stains!...lowered the output on my SWG a few days ago so my FC was 1 ppm then I dropped the pH to 7.0, and since the staining was localized, I poured a bottle of 500 mg Vitamin C tablets into a sock and just ran it over the stained areas and watched them disappear. I then hit the pool with a good dose of sequestant and am running the filter and have turned up the SWG output a bit. Gonna recheck the pH tomoroow and slowly get that back up along with the FC....so far so good. I am now a happy camper!
