Poolife is excited to introduce two powerful new stain prevention and removal tools: Poolife Stain Stop and Poolife Stain Lift. Stain Stop is a powerful sequestering agent that holds iron, manganese, copper and calcium in solution to stop them from reacting with other elements in the water; it also prevents staining, scale and rust on pool equipment, pipes and fittings. Stain Lift works to eliminate metallic stains quickly without testing the water or closing the pool. Its granular formulation is compatible with most types of pool surfaces; however, it is not intended for use on black plaster.
