Pool Mate 1-Quart Concentrated Metal Out Stain & Mineral Inhibitor – Made in USA

Protect Your Pool from Metal-Induced Discoloration

Pool Mate brings a practical solution for managing metals and minerals in pool water. This 1-quart concentrate acts as a mineral stabilizer that helps prevent staining and color changes caused by elements like iron, calcium, manganese, and copper. By keeping metals in solution, it supports clearer water and helps shield pool surfaces and plumbing from common buildup such as rust, scale, and mineral deposits.

Designed for ongoing use, this product is a versatile sequestrant you can rely on during openings, closings, and throughout the swimming season. It is formulated for ease of use and compatibility with typical pool maintenance routines, and it is manufactured in the United States.

Here are some practical ways Pool Mate Metal Free fits into real-world pool care. Use it during new fills or when you suspect metal contaminants in the water. If you encounter a color issue due to dissolved minerals, you can follow a simple step-by-step approach to restore clarity and balance without aggressive chemical changes.

Key uses and dosing

• 1 quart per 10,000 gallons of water per treatment cycle
• Helps deter discoloration and mineral buildup that can affect water appearance
• Protects plumbing and pool walls from rust, stain, and scale over the season
• Ideal for all pool openings and closings and for routine seasonal maintenance

How to address existing color in the water

• Close the pool to swimmers and keep the filter running
• Stop chlorinating and reduce pH to about 6.8 to re-dissolve mineral impurities
• Add 1 quart per 10,000 gallons and allow circulation overnight or until the water clears
• Re-balance pH to 7.2–7.8 and resume normal chlorination and operation

After backwashing or splash-out, replenish with one quart per 20,000 gallons as part of routine maintenance. While results can vary with water chemistry, many pool owners notice a clearer appearance and more stable water color when this product is used as part of a thoughtful maintenance plan.

Why choose Pool Mate
