Does this only work where powder is applied. How long does it take to work. How long do we leave it in before we said it failed. Thanks

Hi, CV. This product when dissolved into the water will treat surface stains. This product depending on the stains and how long it's been can take several weeks to work. You can review the Stain Solution #2 Treatment for instructions.

We have a plaster saltwater pool that is 10 years old. We have grayish stains throughout, some darker than others. With our water test, it showed our iron level was just above normal. Would too much iron cause these gray streaked stains?

Hi Stacey, In our Identifying Pool Stains Blog, "iron" stains are usually yellow or brownish. Gray stains is caused by copper. I would recommend getting a Jack's Magic Stain IDentification™ Kit to verify what type od stain you're dealing with.

One of your questions that was answered, was can we swim while using this product, and the answer was no, because the pH levels would be too low. Ok, so how does the pH levels being low hurt anyone? And is the dip sticks good enough to tell, or should I be using the chemistry set?
Reply
April. Our body's pH level is around 7.4. Swimming in a pool with the pH level lower or higher than 7.4 can cause eye and skin irritation. You can use test strips or a test kit to check to check the pH ppm of your pool water, an good level 7.2 to 7.6 ppm.

During #2 treatment, what chlorine level should I keep, or I don't have to add chlorine at all till the stain is gone? I understand there is no shock for 2 weeks.
Reply
You want to keep you chlorine level at 1-3ppm. TIP: This treatment can produce false free chlorine readings for 3-4 weeks; use the total chlorine reading during this time

How soon can I swim after using the Jacks Magic Stain #2?
Reply
When doing a Stain #2 treatment we do not recommend the pool being used by people or pets due to the pH being below the normal levels.
Reply
I did the #2 treatment and now I can't get a chlorine reading. Did I do something wrong?
Reply
With a Stain #2 treatment, the chemical will cause a low combined chlorine reading for as much as 30 days. You should not try to shock out the combined chlorine for two weeks following the treatment. Be sure that you are testing both free and total chlorine to avoid over chlorinating.

(5 out of 5 stars) The only scale remover to buy!!!
Reviewed By: Gail R. from Oklahoma City, OK ()
Pros: No draining the pool
Cons: Works kind of slow.
I've tried several so-called scale & metal removers & spent a lot of money. Jack's Magic The Copper & Scale Stuff, is the only thing I have found that works. It's not fast acting, but does a good job with patience & no acid baths or emptying the pool.

(5 out of 5 stars) Scale Remover that works!!!!
Reviewed By: Gail R. from Oklahoma City, OK ()
Pros: Swimming pool doesn't have to be drained
Cons: Works kind of slow on a big pool
I've tried several products the remove scale from my 15K gallon gunite pool without doing an acid bath. I finally found Jack's Magic The Copper & Scale Stuff & it's great to remove scale from your pool. Used with Jack's Magic Blue Stuff, scale is removed without doing acid baths or draining the pool. Products states it could take up to 2 weeks. I'm on week 1 & it's working but slowly.

(4 out of 5 stars) Effective metal stain remover!
Reviewed By: Cat Lady from Inverness, Fl ()
Pros: Easy to use. Good price.
Cons: It takes about 2 weeks to remove all the stains.
Jack's magic has excellent products. I was a little disappointed because it took a couple of weeks to clean it all. I like everything to work immediately. LOL INYO gives excellent service and the pricing is excellent.
