Pool Mate 1-Quart Premium Metal Out Stain and Mineral Inhibitor – Made in USA

Overview

Pool Mate 1-Quart Premium Metal Out Stain and Mineral Inhibitor is crafted to address minerals that naturally occur in many water supplies. When metals such as iron or manganese are present, they can interact with chlorine or shock treatments, potentially causing staining or discolored water. This product is concentrated and ready to use, working by chelating minerals to help prevent those issues before they appear. By binding metals, it supports clearer water and a more consistent pool appearance as part of your regular maintenance routine.

Why a mineral inhibitor matters

Metal buildup and mineral precipitation can manifest as cloudy water, dull edges, or subtle tinting, especially after fresh chemical additions. This inhibitor offers a preventive option that complements your existing sanitizers and stabilizers when added separately, rather than replacing them. The result can be a smoother upkeep experience and a steadier pool look, with less surprise staining even after routine chemical additions.

Key benefits and potential results

Using the product on a regular schedule supports mineral control and stain prevention. The formula is designed to work alongside chlorine, algaecides, and stabilizers when added separately, so you can tailor treatment without altering your entire routine. Real-world results depend on water chemistry, metal levels, and ongoing maintenance practices.

Usage scenarios

New Pools or Pool Opening: To prevent discoloration from trace metals, add 1.5 oz per 1,000 gallons before other chemicals. Recirculate to ensure even distribution prior to additional treatments.

Discolored Water: Have your dealer confirm whether iron or manganese is present. If metals are < 1 ppm, add 1.5 oz per 1,000 gallons; if higher, adjust accordingly. Test the pH after addition and adjust to 7.2–7.6, then recirculate.

Scale Build-Up: Scale results from high calcium and other hardness minerals. Add 0.75 oz per 1,000 gallons and recirculate for at least six hours after application. To help prevent recurrence, add 1–2 oz per 5,000 gallons each week.

Notes for best results

Keep this product separate from other chemicals during addition. The formula is designed to work with your existing pool chemistry without interfering with sanitizers or stabilizers. For best outcomes, follow the dosing guidelines for your pool size and maintain regular circulation after each application.
