How To Identify and Clean Pool Stains
At SPS PoolCare, we have the skills and services to identify and clean all kinds of unsightly pool stains. Don’t let dirty-looking tiles, rails, steps, and walls put a stop to your Las Vegas summer swimming fun.
TYPES OF POOL STAINS
Removing stains is not a one sized fits all solution. Trying to restore your pool, spa, or hot tub to its sparkling clean, pristine state can be a challenging guessing game. We’ve put together a few tips to help you recognize the type of spot, blemish, or buildup you’re dealing with.
Organic Pool Stains – usually caused by algae, leaves, plants, or fruits/berries.
· Greenish Brown
· Blueish Green & Black
· Reddish Blue
· Yellows
· Plant-Like Shape

Metallic Pool Stains – caused by iron or other minerals in the water, fertilizers, pesticides, algaecides, or metal objects.

· Yellows
· Grays
· Blue-Tint To Water

IT TAKES AN EXPERT EYE
As you can see, there is some overlap. Identifying the problem is not always straightforward. Experience makes all the difference. The best way to remove each type of stain depends on what it is, how long it’s been there, and how much there is. Instead of wasting time and money on ineffective products or possibly damaging your pool surfaces, it’s usually best to leave stain removal to the pros.

Some small organic stains can be removed by shocking your pool, spa, or hot tub and scrubbing the tile. Metallic stains can be particularly challenging to get rid of. Fortunately, we offer several different services aimed at getting rid of those bothersome stains.

PREVENTION IS YOUR BEST DEFENSE
Keep your pool or spa stain-free by cleaning it regularly, keeping the water alkalinity, pH, and sanitizer levels balanced, skimming frequently, and cleaning small stains before they can grow. But why spend your time off scrubbing, measuring, and troubleshooting. Leave the weekly cleaning and maintenance to us.
