JACK'S MAGIC STAIN ID KIT POP BOX
Product Overview
Identifying the specific metal causing a stain prevents the waste of expensive sequestering agents and harsh acids.
In our experience, the Jack’s Magic Stain ID Kit is what pool techs reach for when visual diagnosis isn't enough to distinguish between iron, copper, or manganese. This ingenious pop-box kit contains a durable magnetic case and six color-coded reagent tablets designed to react directly with the stain on the pool surface. By following the Jack's Magic 3-step process—Identify, Remove, and Prevent—you avoid the trial-and-error approach that often leads to unbalanced water chemistry and wasted chemicals.
Benefits & What Makes It Different
Targeted Metal Detection
Formulated to pinpoint iron, copper, manganese, and combined metal scales so you buy only the necessary treatment chemicals.
Durable Magnetic Case
The kit includes a weighted magnetic case that allows you to place the reagent tablets directly on the stain at the bottom of the pool without diving in.
Chemical Waste Reduction
By identifying the exact stain type before application, you eliminate the cost of 'shotgunning' multiple stain removers that may not be effective for your specific issue.

When To Use This
Pro Tip
Before using the kit, ensure your chlorine level is below 1.0 ppm; high sanitizer levels can oxidize the reagents too quickly, interfering with the tablet's ability to react with the metal and potentially leading to a false negative.
Common Questions & Instructions
Can I use the Jack's Magic Stain ID Kit if my pool water is cold?
No, you should not begin treatment or testing if the water temperature is below 65°F, as the chemical reactions required for identification and removal are significantly slowed in cold water.
What types of stains does this kit identify?
This kit is designed to identify common metallic stains including iron, copper, and manganese, as well as organic stains and scale buildup, providing a clear path to the correct Jack's Magic removal product.
How long does it take to get results from the Stain ID Kit?
The process is designed to be fast; once the reagent tablet is placed on the stain using the magnetic case, a reaction usually occurs within minutes, allowing for immediate diagnosis.
