Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What causes stains and scale in pool water?
A: Stains and scale are often caused by metals and minerals — like iron, copper and calcium — that are present in the water and oxidize or build up over time.
Q: Can I use this in a saltwater pool?
A: Yes! Poolife™ Intensive Stain Prevention™ is compatible with saltwater systems and all sanitizers.
Q: Will this remove existing stains?
A: It can help reduce the appearance of existing stains but is best used as a preventative. For heavy staining, use a dedicated stain remover first.
Q: How soon after applying can I swim?
A: You can swim as soon as the product has been circulated — typically after 8 hours.
Q: Should I still use this product if I don’t have visible stains?
A: Yes. This product is most effective as a preventative treatment to keep stains and scale from forming in the first place, especially if your water source contains metals or minerals.
Q: Can I use this right after shocking the pool?
A: Wait 24 hours after shocking or until chlorine levels return to the normal 1–4 ppm range before adding Poolife™ Intensive Stain Prevention™ for best performance.
Q: Does it interfere with other Poolife™ maintenance products?
A: No. It’s designed to work alongside Poolife™ sanitizers, algaecides and clarifiers, making it easy to incorporate into your regular pool care routine.
Q: How do I know if my water has metals in it?
A: Common signs include green or brown staining on pool surfaces or fixtures. For a precise reading, bring a water sample to your Poolife™ dealer for professional testing.
