Pool Mate 1-Quart 4-Pack Concentrated Metal Out Stain and Mineral Inhibitor, Pool Metal Remover, Stain Remover, Made in USA

If you have bad water with lots of iron, you need to keep this stuff handy. I replaced my pool liner this spring and to save money filled it with the hose from my house. My water is very rusty, and I knew I would need something. So, I bought metal out and used it as directed. Needless to say, it worked wonderful!!! Pool filled, water was ugly, started filter and a day later pool was almost crystal clear. Couple of filter backwashes and a good vacuuming and the pool looks great. I will be supplementing with Metal Out every time I use the hose to top off my pool. Must have if you have rusty water.

If you have well water and have iron in your pool, when you add chlorine, it will turn red or yellow. This stuff does wonders if you added in according to the bottle, it will clear your pool right up. I have ordered multiple times love it.

I was very hesitant to use this in our pool but it worked good with also doing other iron removal methods. We have hard well water so the iron in the water made it very dirty looking even though it wasn’t. Adding the metal out and doing the sock method (check out YouTube for that) our pool was clear after a week. The first two photos are 5 days apart and the third is what it cleared ended up looking like after a few more days. We do not have new water running through our pool constantly so we only needed to use one bottle of the metal out. I do not think that using just the metal out would’ve been effective, the sock method was a big help in getting all of the iron out.

My pool has been cleaner than it has been in 2 years. Due to me having a fiberglass pool sometimes it’s difficult to get everything brushed. This made it so much easier to remove grime.

Working as recommended

This product is most likely for professional pool companies who provide pool service to homeowners. The instructions are labor intensive- my pool pH has never been below 7.8 & the instructions state the pH must be 6.8 before using this product.

My pool stairs were completely black from metal deposit. I used this product (3 bottles on a small pool). It took about a week and my stairs are perfectly white again. I will definitely buy again.

This works so good I will not go through a summer without using
