Yes, there are usually pool products offered by companys that remove rust from the water. However if it's rusty the products don't work as well. Metal in your water is more easily removed before chlorine is added. Once Chl is added it rusts the metals and they loose their ability to be easily attracted out. Bioguard has a product called Pool Magnet. Can be used anytime, but is best before chlorine is added. Rusty water, clean your filter or back wash every couple hours and use "Sparkle Up" in the filtering system. Your filter will get it out. If you get stains there are stain removers too.
I have the same question. A screwdriver was laying at the bottom of my pool throughout the whole winter, now there is a rust mark about 2in by 2in in the bottom of my pool. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to remove it without clouding my water or damaging the vinyl liner?
There are a number of ways you could remove stains from worms on a vinyl liner. You could use cleaners.
Try algecide gel and a soft sponge. You might also try Vitamin C tablets in a sock.
You can't
i stored a vinyl hot tub in storage and now it has yellow and black mold stains on it. how do i remove the stains and smell?
yu lift it up
Many things can cause iron stains on the vinyl siding of a home. The best way to remove these stains is to use tub and tile cleaner and a cloth scouring pad.
muriatic acid should work fairly well
I've used Goo Gone to remove stains from vinyl bags before. I would test it on an inconspicuous area first to make sure it doesn't harm the finish. I used it mostly to remove surface stains and dirt, so if your stain is deep into the vinyl it might not work as well.
Milton ... the cure all for impossible stains and marks
You could try spraying straight bleach from a spray bottle, and then rinse with either reverse-osmosis or distilled water.
no on paint! You will need to replace the liner.
Afraid not. Vinyl liner pools are built using "concrete receptor coping" into which the deck is poured. It also contains the "bead receptor" that the vinyl liner attaches to. Actually YES it can. You would want to do this during a liner replacement but it can be done. You would have to remove the concrete from around the perimeter of the pool, remove/ replace the "concrete receptor coping" with bead receiver, aluminum extrusion, form/pour a bond beam, then lay your stone. Not really an easy do it yourself job but it can be done.
