Is this good for cleaning pool stains?

We use it to clean in the kitchen. Don't have a pool so really can't help with this question. Sorry.

As its name implies, it is an acid. If the pool stains are mineral based, I think it would - but I'm no expert. It has helped me greatly reduce the hard water mineral build-up in both my dishwasher and my cloths washer. You would have to research the proper concentration and best method of application. In my cases, I add a coffee measure of the granular citric acid with each wash load measured into the detergent injector for clothes machine and sprinkled around the bottom of the dishwasher.

I tried it on the calcium ring around my pool. It was much slower to work than Muriatic acid and required more scrubbing. I'm going to try ascorbic acid next as KT suggested.

It was ok but left an orange stain on pool filter fingers. Abscorbic acid is much better

I haven't tried it, so I don't know. there is a Stain Solver web site that lists all the stuff it cleans, and how to do it. I suggest you google it and look there. good luck

Yes hold it on the stain and check it about every 5 minutes. You should see bubbles come up from around the tool. I found that I had to refresh the acid in it often. This Item worked great for me. I took out some large stains with it on a pool on my pool route. When you purchased the item it should of came with instructions. Follow the instructions. The stains I removed where on the bottom of the pool, some large and some small. It took about 3 hours to remove the stains.

Yes, I have used it on hard water stains and it works well. I have also used it on glass and porcelain with no issue.

Hmmm . . . it will clean up standing water. But it's a vacuum. If you have a stain as a result of water that was left standing, I don't think any vacuum will be able to remove that.

I'm not sure. We used it for dirt stains in our car which worked well. I'm sorry I can't help.

i have an incontinent dog and it works well on the urine stains. plus i live on a lake and the dogs go in and out and come in with mud and dirty water on them and the bissell does fine on those as well. nancy

I just used it to clean up some iron stains on both my commode and tub. It seems to work best if you sprinkle it on, dampen it and let it set a bit before you scrub. It is not quite as effective on lime buildup but did quite well on the rust stains.

I have used this for both dry & canned cat food and have not had a problem, using the Spotbot. It has a setting for "everyday stains" and another one for "set in stains." I cannot speak regarding other cleaning machines.

Yes! It seems to work well on all cotton and polyester material. It'll get those stains out mostly, might want to use a little bleach to get the deep stains out.

Really not sure about your specific stains. But it did clean my red colored standard brick that runs about 2ft off the ground around portion of my house nicely. In past I used pressure washer and actually removed some mortar and stone! Never again! I used TSP with laundry detergent and bleach this time. Used a push broom type brush to scrub it (not really hard as I have MS and am rather weak) and it cleaned it beautifully. I also used same mixture on patio/walkway 12" x 12" , 1" thick pavers and concrete pavers, redwood deck and siding. Just slopped it on, brushed bad spots - did a great job. All I can say is give it a try, it's not expensive and may be just what you need. If it doesn't work for your brick, you can always use it for other purposes, so it's not a waste. Works great to wash walls and painted furniture/outdoor furniture. My favorite use is to add teaspoon or so to dishwasher w/detergent as booster and about 1/4 cup to laundry soap as same - you will think you have new appliances, it does such a better job. If you are concerned about phosphates/environment, then not for you. It is my understanding this stuff used to be in cleaners before new epa concerns and that's why older cleaner formulas like Spic-n-span worked so well. Not sure if true or not, I read it on the internet lol?

No, the Aquabot would not take care of any kind of stain that required steel wool (or for that matter any "stain"). It is a very good product and love the job it does but its scrubbers are designed to be soft and not to cause any harm to the pool surface including pools with liners.

No. The vacuum will remove the dirt but will not take care of algae spores or rain related pH balances. You still need to check your Chlorine/Bromine levels and pH. A pool your size should only need little corrections with the appropriate chemicals.

I have used several concentrated products for cleaning from Sams Club based on the stain issue. Would not recommend "foamy" types of cleaners. I have used lysol, fabulosa, oxy orange, purple power

it depends on what you want to accomplish. this product is used to remove metal stains from gunite pool surfaces. I use it yearly and it works very well. there are a number of other products on the market that do likewise. I am a 25 year pool owner and I get the best results using all products from the same manufacturer. these bioguard products are a little bit pricey but I believe they are worth the few extra $s. good luck, spyboy1.......if you need anymore assistance, drop me a note at spyboy809@gmail.com

I haven't tried it for stain. I only use it for bug & weed control. Those products are all the consistency of water,and uniformity is not vital.

YES, I used it to remove calcium stains. It worked great for me. Take extra care so that the surface does not scratch.
