How do you determine if brown staining on a plaster epoxy painted pool wall is a mineral problem or some kind of an algae problem?
Brown staining on pool walls and fixtures is usually from a high iron content in the water. The chemical reaction with newly added fill water and the addition of chlorine shortly after will cause a fallout of this metal. I have witnessed this years ago after adding a gallon o f chlor. to a newly filled pool and just watched the brown cloud form and fill the pool to a chocolate brown color.
There are chelating agents to prevent this from happening.
