A: Yes — Stain Stop is designed to maintain and protect after stain removal. Always start with Poolife™ Stain Lift for visible stains.
Q: What happens if I don’t use Stain Stop after removing stains?
A: Without ongoing protection, metals in the water may cause new stains to reappear, especially in warm temperatures or unbalanced water.

A: Absolutely. Stain Stop is compatible with saltwater, chlorine and bromine systems — just not with biguanide-based sanitizers.
