Why do I need a stain product?
A fact not generally known by the pool business is that all water has metal in it. We get 25,000 calls per year on staining and over half showed no metals when tested. Staining is the number 1 problem and it's the hardest to fix. Algae is easy for us to get rid of.
Does Pool Stain Treat remove metals from the water?
Some metals will be removed from the water but no product is effective in eliminating all metals from the water. Many of our calls are complaints about competitor's products that didn't work. Since metals come from dust, rain, fertilizers, city and well water, other chemicals, it's ridiculous to believe that you don't have metals in your pool. United's position is that you always treat for metals and that will protect you from a bad surprise. It's like wearing your seat belt always when you drive.
How effective is Pool Stain Treat?
Pool Stain Treat is the most powerful stain product in the market today. It is recommended by most of the fiberglass companies, the largest vinyl pool company (Doughboy), plasterers from coast to coast. Thousands of pool professionals use Pool Stain Treat.
Will Pool Stain Treat affect my pool chemistry?
Yes. The product is acidic and can lower the pH. You may also witness a temporary loss of chlorine residual. Don't shock. Just gently chlorinate. Pool Stain Treat is unique in that it performs in any pH range and is not super susceptible to chlorine damage.
