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.
Brown stains can be removed by doing a shock treatment for the pool and then scrubbing the stain. Enzyme based pool chemicals will also remove brown stains.
Try a chealating agent -- a liquid stain remover. It may take two quarts to do the job. Follow the mfg's instructions.
It sounds like some sort of algae when you expose it to the pools water it brings it under controll.
I would think you could use "Oops!" or "Goof Off", which are liquid emulsifiers and do a good job of dissolving various glues. You will most definitely need to wash the wall after you get the "sticker stains" off.
Green stains (copper color) that cannot be removed indicate you might have a pH problem. K
I've had some success with muriatic acid- although you have to be very careful & only works if stains not too deep. They sell it in pool supplies.
It totally depends on what made the stains, not what color they are.

Go to target and buy a "multi-use" eraser ... they're just like "mr clean magic eraser" -- all you do is wet the sponge, wring it out, and rub it over the stains. It comes right off the wall! The same trick for blood stains in clothes and various other things. Your body has enzymes that can break down such stains. Just spit on it and rub it with a cloth.
I use baking soda to clean my acrylic tub/shower. It gets out a multitude of stains. Maybe it will work on this
Yes.. If the lite ring or facering are corroded the chemical ballance has been way off..

I don't believe it does - I think it just prevents stains. I have calcium stains on my pool because I poured powedered shock into the pool over the winter when the water wasn't circulating (don't do that!) -- now I'm grinding them off by hand witha diamond abrasive pad screwed to a long metal pool and it's grueling work. There's no way a checmial would take these off - even a wire brush didn't make a dent. Good luck
If the stains are more than a few hours old you will have to drain the pool to do an acid wash. Another alternative is to do what is called in the industry a "no-dran" acid wash - and yes the spelling is correct there because it is the manufacurer's way to spell it. The product is put out by United Chemical Co in California. Possibly in Simi Valley. Can be found in most major pool stores at times. You must follow all the instructions on the container or it will not work properly. You also must know when to stop the process. It is best for a professional to do this type of work. If trained properly he will know when to react to the different chemical situations that are involved.
