Lo-chlor Stain Treatments

Lo-Chlor chemicals are Australia's only specialty chemical manufacturer. Their unique range of stain removing products can magically remove 95% of unsightly swimming pool surface stains through a simple chemical treatment.

Before considering stain removal, you must be aware of exactly why a pool stains.

All swimming pools' interiors are made from chemical compounds of one type or another. Staining problems can start even before we commence filling the pool with water. Water is corrosive so it must be balanced by careful addition of certain chemicals. Added to this we must sanitise the water continually and re-check the balance to ensure the pool interior is not being attacked by the water itself and also to ensure that bathers are swimming in correctly treated water.

Staining occurs when insoluble chemical precipitates form in the pool. These may deposit on the pool interior and often they are hard to remove. For our purposes, stains fall into two categories: organic/vegetable stains caused by falling leaves and other plant matter and metal stains caused by dissolved metals in the pool water.
