There is a product on the market that we use with our pool customers. It is called "Stain Out" by Regal Brand. It is best to use when the chlorine is level is below .5 ppm. You add this product by sprinkling directly over the problem area after is has been pre dissolved in a bucket of water. Shortly thereafter you add a "metal out" remover. This product is ideal for treating metal and mineral stains from vinyl, fiberglass, plaster and tile surfaces. For more information contact us at www.ccpoolspa.com

When we had stains or opened up our pool in the spring, after getting the debris out and the water was clean, and the "chlorine level was very high" that is when we would scrub the pool liner down with nylon brushes, "high chlorine level and nylon brushes" is all we used and when we were done the liner looked great.
Pool cleaning companies place vitamin c directly on the stain then let it set for about 15 minutes. Wash off with water to see the results. Repeat the process with more vitamin C, place a towel down, and move around with a stick if the stain is still there.
Place vitamin C tablets in a sock and let the sock sit on the stains for up to two minutes. It's that easy.

First, find out what the stains are. Iron staining? Stain from using Morton System Saver salt pellets? Algae? Your pool service man should be able to tell you. Then take the appropriate action to remove - ask your local pool shop or pool service person.
Use a natural ascorbic acid based pool product to clean stains on walls in the pool. Once applied, this product almost immediately removes most stains. Most pool stains come from metals in the water. Test your fill water to make sure it doesn't contain high concentrations of metals, if you fill your pool from sources other than city water.

I seriously doubt that the pool sweep is the problem here with your stains. You will have to describe the stains in order to get to the root of the problem. Are the stains: Rust color or brown? Black or gray? Green? Blue? Are the stains consistent or uniform? Are they all over the pool? Do they cover the whole pool or are they in small patches? Answer these questions and I may be able to tell you the cause. k

It sounds like some sort of algae when you expose it to the pools water it brings it under controll.
Try algecide gel and a soft sponge. You might also try Vitamin C tablets in a sock.
My experience is that the stains will go away by themselves, through the effects of the chlorination of the water. Does not matter if the pool is a salt pool or fresh water pool. If the pool has a plaster finish, brushing the stains with a wire pool brush will speed up the process.

Since you cannot remove the "stains" with the methods you have tried perhaps the stains are from too much acid or high acid levels. Are there also copper colored stains as well? Do you have a pool heater in the system? If so, then it is copper stains from an acidic pool water. The over acid conditions are stripping the copper from the heater copper tubing. k
