Metals in well water stained pool.
I have a 20x40 pool. Lost some water & when I went to refill it I started getting brown spots (light rust spots). Does anyone know of a natural way to remove these spots. I want to close it down for the season. I rubbed a "vitamin c" tablet on the side & it helped remove the stain but I can't do that to the whole pool. Any suggestion. And yes we have well water so I believe that caused this problem...

you should have a filter system on your well.
The spots are iron stains from you well water.

is your pool concrete gunite with a plaster finish?
or is it a vinyl liner type?

bring it back to a ph of 7.2 to 7.6

your pool supply store should have a chemical to take any suspended iron particles out of the water.
