Poolife® Intensive Stain Prevention®
Product Overview
A proven choice for homeowners filling with well water or managing high mineral content that threatens to discolor pool surfaces.
This 1 QT (946 mL) bottle of Poolife® Intensive Stain Prevention® utilizes a concentrated sequestering agent to bind metals like iron and copper before they can oxidize. Intensive Stain Prevention provides reliable protection for all pool surfaces, including vinyl and fiberglass, by keeping minerals in solution even during high pH spikes. In hard water regions like the Southwest, this is the standard specification for preventing 'white line' scale at the tile mark.
Poolife Intensive Stain Prevention is the way to go! This specially designed formula helps prevent and protect against scale, stains, and rust.

When To Use This

Common Questions & Instructions
How much Poolife Intensive Stain Prevention do I need for a new fill?
For a fresh fill with known metal content, we recommend an initial dose of 1 QT (946 mL) per 10,000 gallons of water to establish a protective baseline.
Can I swim immediately after adding this stain preventer?
While the product is compatible with all sanitizers, we suggest waiting at least 15 minutes for the product to circulate through the filtration system before entering the water.
Does this product remove existing stains or just prevent them?
This formula is primarily a preventative sequestering agent; while it can help lighten fresh deposits, set-in stains may require a localized ascorbic acid treatment.
