Thanks for the video and product info. This stuff is unbelievable, my pool hasn't looked this good since I put in the new liner. I went to Leslie's pool and asked about using it and they told me that it wouldn't work and said I would be wasting my money, and also, they did not have a solution for my problem. I went ahead and used the product as you said, I lowered the chlorine level to .0 and did a before and after pics, and the results were amazing. I brought the pics to Leslie's Pool and the person I spoke to about this, I showed him the pics and he was totally amazed. And wanted to know what brand I used. Thanks brother for the advice.
After you dissolve, the metal stains with the ascorbic acid, I would suggest that you add a sequestering agent because the metal is now in solution. Then you need to vacuum and backwash a few times to get rid of it permanently.
if you have rust this worls also you can put in in like a sock and stick it on the rust spot for a few minutes and scrub with the sock it will remove the rust stain. not to mention those who are on well water you ever fill your pool than shock it and your water turns brown thats from oxodized iron in the water this stuff will also clear that brown water to blue as absorbic acid will disolve the oxodized iron in the water thats baking it look orange or brown in color. this has been a trick for years but pool companies dont want you to know because they rather sell you the expensize metoul out and stain removers asorbic acid is vitamin c thats all it is and its safe nothing in it will harm you you can jump right in that pool with no issue
FANTASTIC! What do you need to do AFTER the vitamin C is sitting there? Does it need to be vacuumed up? Or it can just sit there? Does it get suspended? I read a suggestion about adding the metal sequestering product. The pool company had convinced me for 2 months that it's algae. They even did metal tests. I have scrubbed the pool silly - no improvement - only blisters! I lost a lot of sleep of my beautiful pool looking gross. Today, I gently tried to scrub a step with a chlorine tablet. Nothing. Then, after your video, I dropped 1 (just 1) vitamin C caplet (from the medicine chest!) and the step was sparkling clean!! Holy smoke! Thank YOU! Please add the words Vitamin C to your title and more people will get to your amazing video!
I have a concrete pool. Year after year, we get small stains in the pits on the bottom of the pool. I've tried everything but this; I just ordered on Amazon. Can't wait to see how this works.
I just did the same to my pool here in St Pete. Mine was no where near that level to start but I used a considerably smaller amount like 1lb per 10,000 gallons. It worked but just took a lot longer. Do you find that using that much makes it takes longer to get the chemicals back in balance?
Greggmgm how did u get rid of the green after the acid treatment? Mine did the same and none of my chemicals will balance out now and my pool is also green
That’s exactly what I had all over my liner and I couldn’t even get it off with a scotch Brite. It will work in minutes you’re going to be in shock just try it.
I am curious to try this. I have about 20 -25 rusty nail marks and some stains that look like your in my deep end. I tried some crushed vitamin C on a few nail stains but did not seem to have any impact. Hopefully this will work. Does it help if you brush it in or will it eventually work its way though the entire pool?
@@Jwvalen69 I don’t think it will get the rusty nail stains but maybe now that I think about it I did have a rust stain on the bottom of my pool a small one and it did disappear. Let me know what happens.
I just added the whole container 8 lbs. of this stuff (the same one) to my 40K gallons and ran the filter for 12 hours, nothing happen. After 48 hours my pool became green and could not see the bottom. I shocked it with 3 gallons of shock but it still green. Not sure what need to do next, any help appreciated!
This removes metal stains and puts them back in the water from the walls and floor. After you use this you need to add chemicals to remove the metal in the pool water because its now suspended in the water for lack of better terms. Then vacuum and backwash. If you are using cal hypo shock your just adding metal back into the pool. If this doesn't move your stain it may not be a metal stain
I have the same problem, I a,m trying to find solutions. I went to the pool store and they just told me shock the pool with Clorox and wraith 24 hours.
I have a hydrazzo lined pool that has mud stains from a flash food that sent mud all in my pool, I'm trying to find a way to get the stains out without draining Would this work on mud stains?
Didn't work at all when i first put it in. Did absolutely nothing, I will give it till morning, but will be surprised if it does anything but take money out of my pocket.

Did you use metal Sequestrant after that?
What you did do to stabilize the chemistry after ascorbic acid?

You have to sequester with a sequestrant or replace your water.
I love your enthusiasm. LFG!!
Amazing. It's worth giving a try. Nothing else has worked. I'm almost ready to put in a new liner. Thanks. I will try it.
I love your excitement! I'm about to go try this. Thank you for sharing.
thanks
I'm going to give this a try. Thank you for the I for my friend 😊
Thank you so much. Have same issue on new pool and would not go away 😊

Let me know if it works out for u!!! I’ve been having a stain on my walls and nothing seems to get it out!
Same here. Please let us know.
I was skeptical but dam it worked instantly! New liner looks new again!
Quick question, what causes this 'rust' stain? Which metal is affecting our pools like this? Thank YOU!
Iron
Copper stain
Look look look look look look look look look look look look see? Look see? See? See? SEEEEE IT.. !?!
turn off the pump while doing this , !!!!
How do you get it on the walls?
Awesome, thanks for sharing!
If you turn the jets off … it works way better with less👍
Is this effective to brown stain on the tile of the pool?
I just did the same to my pool here in St Pete. Mine was no where near that level to start but I used a considerably smaller amount like 1lb per 10,000 gallons. It worked but just took a lot longer. Do you find that using that much makes it takes longer to get the chemicals back in balance?
yes my pool went green so from now on only small amounts
@@greggmgm what do you mean green?
Like algae
Greggmgm how did u get rid of the green after the acid treatment? Mine did the same and none of my chemicals will balance out now and my pool is also green
Ascorbic acid neutralizes the chlorine in the pool. Also the reverse is true. Balance your pool and do this before adjusting chlorine levels.
Does this work on pool plaster ?
Yes.
Did the stains come back?
Ive got rust stains that are bright orange and has been there for a few years now. Do you think this will work?
I'm wondering the same
Yes, I would try it
I'm curious. Can you get in the pool right away or how long would you have to wait to get in safely?
This is food grade vitamin C. You could eat the stuff, so you’re OK to go in the pool immediately even while putting it in.
This will nuke your chlorine for a few days, so you will need to wait a few days.
Does this work for white gritty build up on a vinyl liner??
Before you use the ascorbic acid, do you need to lower the chlorine level to 0 to be more affective.
YES
I also have lots of spots that can't be brushed off and its not algae but its also rough. Calcium?? We have a vinyl liner. Would this work?

the stuff worked great, but know the water has a blue tint to it. How can I get my water back to clear.
You probably didn't use a sequestrant.
I also use this in my toilet tank! Like new
Did you lower your chlorine first?
Yes, it needs to be below 1 ppm
I just added the whole container 8 lbs. of this stuff (the same one) to my 40K gallons and ran the filter for 12 hours, nothing happen. After 48 hours my pool became green and could not see the bottom. I shocked it with 3 gallons of shock but it still green. Not sure what need to do next, any help appreciated!

Does water temp have an effect on results
If you have a heater you need to turn off the heater. Also, chlorine should be below 1 ppm
I have a hydrazzo lined pool that has mud stains from a flash food that sent mud all in my pool, I'm trying to find a way to get the stains out without draining
Would this work on mud stains?
I don’t think it will, but you can try it
Suggestion, turn off the pump and broadcast it evenly.
Many commenting here assuming these stains are from iron. Has that been established as a fact? It looks like a biological stain to me.
Does this work on plaster pools?
Yes. Used it on my pool. Worked great. Leave the pump on overnight without filter. Then add a flocculant to the pool and it will look great.
How long does it last?
keep your water good it will not come back
Didn't work at all when i first put it in. Did absolutely nothing, I will give it till morning, but will be surprised if it does anything but take money out of my pocket.
Your Free Chlorine level has to be at 0, in order for this to be most impactful. pH should be roughly at 7.2 or less.
Your pavers look like doo doo
I thought Trump was speaking at first. 😊
