Removing Swimming Pool Stains from Your Pool Bio-Dex AquaDex 50


Removing pool stains with a topical chemical can be done in a lot of cases. You just need to know what is normal plaster mottling (discoloration) and what may be a stain that only a drain and acid wash or replaster will remove. I have had good success removing the stain on pool surfaces with Bio Dex Aquadex 50 Stain-Off.



If you look at the reviews of just about any stain removing product you will see a mix of 5-star reviews and 1-star reviews. Of course, the 5-star reviews are that the product worked. The 1-star reviews that it did not. And again, that is the nature of stain removing products. Some stains are just not going to lift off. So is it worth spend $20-$50 on a product that may lift a stain off? I think so and I often tell my customers I will try this or that product with a disclaimer that it may not work. For the price and the possibility that a stain will be removed or dramatically improved it is worth it. The alternative is to just live with the stain without trying anything.

Here is more on the product from Bio Dex:

“Aquadex 50 Stain-Off / Spa Stain Off removes copper iron and metallic stains from plaster pools and black cobalt stains from fiberglass. Stain removal results can be noticed within 48 hours up to 10 days depending on how old or fresh the stains are. The product is stable at higher temperatures so works well in the spa environment. The effectiveness of Aquadex 50 Stain Off will not be compromised by chlorine, acid or other sanitizing products. The product can be mixed with Plaster White ‘n Brite as a booster for removing difficult metal stains in an acid wash.

Aquadex 50 Stain-Off Features
Metal stain remover. Quickly removes metal stains in spas, pools, and fountains. It stays stable at high temperatures. Stain removal will be apparent in one to 10 days depending on the age of the stain and severity. The second application might be necessary after 10 days.

Aquadex 50 Stain-Off Instructions
Aquadex 50 Stain off is applied directly to the water where the staining exists. Swimmers can enter the water after thirty minutes. High temperatures will not affect the product’s stability. Stain removal takes time and may require additional treatment for resistant stains. Run the filter often and for complete results within 10 days. Lower pH of 7.2 rather than 7.8 for best results.”

One of the biggest successes of the product is using it with a full acid wash. It does a great job removing the metal stains from the plaster or pebble surface and I highly recommend using it with every acid wash. I have had some very good results with the product when used in an acid wash. Sometimes acid alone can’t remove metal staining and the Aquadex 50 will get stains off that otherwise would be left behind. It is very easy to use during an acid wash as you simply add the product directly to the water/acid mixture before pouring it on the surface.

Can I Use Clorox Bleach in my Pool?

Image
Regular Unscented Bleach I started doing pool service when I was 16 years old back in 1988. I took a break from the industry and did some Real Estate Investing and ran a small business for awhile. But I always loved working outdoors and so I decided to do pool service again. So I have about 15 years of practical experience in the field. My specialty has always been water chemistry as I was formally trained by an experts in the field. So I am well versed in most of the chemicals that are on the market today and I have used and tested a lot of different products. So when you hear those in the industry discourage and even slander anyone who uses bleach in their pool, you may think that it is not a product that you should use. In fact as you read this article you will find that using bleach and only bleach is a safe and smart choice. There is a lot of ignorance surrounding household bleach and the use of bleach in a swimming pool. Here is a video I made that goes in more detail on usin

Mr. Pen Non-contact Voltage Meter - Don't Get Electrocuted!

Image
One of the biggest issues you will run into with anything connected to an AC power is if that device or equipment is receiving power. In the pool service industry, this often is the case when you find that a pool pump won’t turn on. Or if a pool timer doesn't on, is it receiving power? Also for repairs with so many breakers being unmarked, how do you know you turned off the right breaker. Bottom line, a non-contact detector like the Mr. Pen is an easy way to see if power is going to the equipment/device and the line is active. A non-contact voltage detector is just that. You don’t need to make contact with the line like with a Multimeter. Plus you don’t need to adjust any settings or knobs to get a voltage reading. Simply hold the Mr. Pen over a cord or wire whip and if there is AC power a red light will turn on and an audible beep will come out of the device. A very easy way to tell if power or a current is present.  To order: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092LFYTG5?&_encoding=UT
