Pool Problems
Staining & Scaling
Whether your pool liner is concrete, plaster or vinyl, staining and scaling may occur. Sometimes it’s the water source you used to fill your pool. Other times it is from corrosion of copper or from use of copper-based algaecides.

Where Stains Come From
Stains or water discoloration appear in all sorts of scary colors. They often look like algae, but don’t brush off easily and they’re not slick or slimy. They are typically caused by metals present in the water, and are reasonably straightforward to treat.
Sources of unwanted metals often include:
- Copper-based algaecide products.
- The source water used to fill your pool.
- Corroding copper parts.
Preventing Stains & Scaling
- Have WaterGuru SENSE regularly testing the water for metals (especially copper and iron).
- Maintain well-balanced pool water, and use scale/stain control products as directed.
