Metal in Your Swimming Pool & Stain Treatment


Metals in your pool and staining from metals dropping out of solution can be a big problem for pool owners and pool service techs. CuLator makes a whole slew of products that will help treat and eliminate metals from your pool water and reverse the staining. 




I sat down with Joe Laurino who is the CEO and President of Periodic Products which is the parent company of the CuLator Metal Stain Eliminator and Stain Preventer products and we recorded a series of podcasts on meal staining and metal stain removal which are listed here for you.

Metal Staining 101 with Joe Laurino of CuLator Metal Stain Eliminator and Stain Preventer:

The first step with any type of staining is to determine if it is an organic or non-organic stain. Organic stains can look a lot like a metal stain so you will need to test the area to see if the stain lifts with a vitamin C tablet as Joe suggests. If it is a metal stain then you will have to follow some simple steps to remove it and remove the metal ions from the pool water.

Here is more about the treatment and the kit includes everything you will need:
“Most pool stain treatments only include a stain treatment and metal sequestering agent.  Well, that is not enough to stop the cycle of swimming pool staining.  To complete the pool stain treatment process, you MUST use CuLator to ELIMINATE the metals from the water, or your stains and discoloration will return.  Stain removers work to take the stains off the surface of your pool.  Sequestering agents suspend the metals in water.  ONLY CuLator Metal Eliminator eliminates the metals that cause the stains on your pool and spa surface.

The No-Drain Metal Stain Eliminator Kit is the CURE for pool staining!  End the vicious cycle of staining with this easy-to-use kit!  Includes everything you need to eliminate metal stains from your pool or spa, without draining, and keeps them from coming back!  Removes iron, copper, manganese, cobalt, and many other metal stains.  Helps prevent them from returning.” with CuLator Metal Eliminator Ultra 4.0.  Good for all surfaces work in fresh or saltwater and has no phosphates.  Also eliminates brown water and green water caused by metals!

About CuLator:
“CuLator is a patented polymer contained in a little bag which, when placed into the skimmer basket or the pump basket, grabs and binds stain-causing metals out of the water to prevent pool surface staining and water discoloration.  CuLator eliminates stain-causing metals like iron, rust, copper, and manganese.  CuLator is manufactured by Periodic Products Inc. in the USA.

CuLator® Metal Eliminator and Stain Preventer is a patented technologically advanced product designed to rapidly eliminate metals from fresh and saltwater. CuLator takes conventional chelating or sequestering agent groups and binds them to a unique, insoluble, and non-toxic polymer backbone. This allows metals to be physically removed and eliminated from the pool, spa, or fountain water, rather than temporarily sequestering metals in the water. The chemistry to produce these polymers was developed over 25 years of scientific research.  So, what does all that mean?  CuLator does not dissolve in pool water, grabs metals out of the water and off sequestering agents, and keeps them locked inside the bag so that you can ELIMINATE the metals from your pool and spa! When metals are removed from pool and spa water, staining and water turning colors are prevented.”

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
