Stains And Scale; Atter The Storm And Treatment - Intec CA10 Instruction Manual

onger visible. Even though the algae are dead, they may still retain their color and
stickiness for several days.
This was discussed earlier in Section 5.1 (under pH). In pools, stains and scale are
either caused by low pH or high pH.
First test and treat your pH, and then wait one day. If the stain or scale still exists
then use a product called Stain Tamer to remove the stain or scale. Be careful not
to use a product called Metal Out. Metal Out, and others like it, can bind up the
copper ions in your swimming pool/spa, making them ineffective.
If a stain appears on the steps or swimout, you may use the muriatic acid (the same
as you use to lower the pH) to remove it.

A. Remove all leaves and debris from pool. Do not leave a single leaf!
B. Clean skimmer baskets, and pump weir basket.
C. Put filter on re-circulate and add proper amount of Drop-Out or Heavy Flock.
(Follow Drop-Out instructions especially regarding the pH)
circulate, run pump for 2 hours then cut pump off.
D. 24 hours later, hand vacuum slowly to remove waste. Wait one more day as pool
water may drop out additional waste during this time.
E. You may have to add water to your pool when water goes below the skimmer. If
this happens, then you MUST:
1. Readjust your pH,
2. Test and adjust copper,
3. Test total alkalinity, and
4. Test calcium hardness
F. Add Stain Tamer if needed. Please note - Use only products called Drop-Out and
Stain-Tamer. Do not substitute. Results will vary according to the pool condition.
