Vinyl liner pool steps are constructed of fiberglass, vinyl ester resin, and swimming pool gel coat. Staining (and blisters) occur around the pools 20th anniversary. It's caused by a breakdown of the white finish called swimming pool gel coat. Stains and blisters can only be removed by replacing the now porous gel coat with new nonporous swimming pool gel coat. Done properly, the new gel coat will last another 20 years.
What is the best way to remove algae stains from the pool liner?Empty the pool, use a soft brush, mild detergent and water to remove algae stains from the pool liner. Thoroughly rinse and dry before refilling or storage. http://www.air-inflatablepools.com
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.
Green stains (copper color) that cannot be removed indicate you might have a pH problem. K
It totally depends on what made the stains, not what color they are.
Yes.. If the lite ring or facering are corroded the chemical ballance has been way off..
You must first DRAIN the water off the pool cover!! Get a hose or plastic tube (available from most pet stores (fish department) and syphon off the water. This will take th weight of the water off the cover so you can lift it off of the pool.
The yellow stains are most likely algae. Superchlorinate and lots of brushing until it is gone. Then brush again. You may want to clean the filter too.
Acid wash it with a presure sprayer.
Turn your pool pump off and let the water settle and become still, 10 to 15 min is more than enough. Spread shock ( Cal-Hypo ) over the pool and it will settle on to the floor and bleach out the stains. Let it set for 5 min or so and turn every thing back on.
It sounds like some sort of algae when you expose it to the pools water it brings it under controll.
I don't think so because it is used for an oven.
last year I sprinkled powdered chlorine on my pool deck and let it sit awhile. After I power-washed it and it came right off. The beauty is it doesn't matter if the water goes in the pool because it is chlorine
