Regal Metal Stain Treatment Kit 20k Gal

The Metal Stain Treatment Kit was designed to treat iron, copper, manganese, cobalt, and other stain-causing metals. No draining required and phosphate-free.

Each kit contains the following:

• No Phos Metal Magnet - 1 quart

• Super Metal Eliminator & Stain Preventer

• Stain Magnet - 1lb

• Super Stain Magnet - 1lb

Instructions:

• Step 1-Identify and Test: If your pool skimmer basket has an attached Regal Metal Indicator Tab, use the above chart to identify stray metals in the water. If your skimmer basket does not have a Regal Metal Indicator Tab, take a water sample to your local pool store for metal testing and identification.

• Step 2-Remove: After the Regal Metal Indicator Tab changes color or a positive metal test, determine best treatment product. Depending on the nature of the stain; surface permeation, pool surface age and condition, water chemistry, etc. more than one treatment with the following products may be needed, follow directions closely and remember to brush surfaces during treatment:

  • Green-Blue-Black Stains caused by Copper or Nickel: Regal Stain Out.

  • Purple-Gray-Brown Stains caused by Iron, Lead, Aluminum, Manganese, Cobalt, Copper & Silver: Regal Super Stain Out.

  • Always do a small test spot on an inconspicuous area of the pool surface before treating the whole pool for stains. Temporary water haze may happen during treatment, keep the pump running and consider using Natural Water Clarifier to expedite cloudy cleanup.

  • Brush pool surface at least twice daily during stain removal treatment.

• Step 3-Eliminate: During Stain Treatment, add Regal Super Metal Eliminator & Stain Preventer to pool pump (or skimmer) basket. Super Metal Eliminator will absorb stray metals. When the Super Metal Eliminator is added to the basket, the cloth pouch will may temporarily expand. Properly dispose of and replace with a fresh Super Metal Eliminator when the cloth pouch contents feel crystallized or sandy. This occurs when the Super Metal Eliminator absorbs 4ppm (20,000 gallons) of metals or equivalent based on pool size.

• NOTE: While eliminating metals from the water, maintain chlorine levels under 3 ppm. Using chlorinated shock products or high levels of chlorine during the metal elimination process will cause the metal stains to reform.

• Prevention is Key: Maintaining proper water chemistry, regularly cleaning your pool, and promptly removing debris can help prevent most stains. Maintenance doses of Regal No Phos Metal Out (Metal Out/Magnet Concentrate for Salt Pools) the day after shocking will keep stains and scale off pool surfaces. For pools prone to metals or filled with well-water, replace the Regal Super Metal Eliminator cartridge in the pump or skimmer basket regularly.

By carefully observing the color and characteristics of the stain and using the identification tips above, you can take the first steps toward restoring your pool's clean and inviting appearance. Remember to always follow the instructions on any pool chemicals you use.
