Stains and Your Plaster Pool

As with anything else, the best way to avoid a problem is to prevent it. Using proper pool maintenance is the best way to ensure that your pool stays clean and stain-free. If a survey of your pool’s plaster does reveal stains, you can remove them using products like Jack's Magic. Take a quart of your pool’s water to your local pool supply store and tell the attendant the color of your stain.

Then ask them to test the water to make sure it is properly balanced to prevent future problems. Purchase Jack's Magic Stain ID Kit-a "sample" kit of the different types of products needed to clean varying stains in your pool. The product amount provided in the kit should be sufficient for small stains, but you can test the products in the kit for larger stains and find the exact type needed to clear up the problem areas on your plaster.
