Pool Stain & Scale Control: Protect Against Metals, Calcium & Hard Water | Sonco Pools - Video

What does swimming pool stain and scale control do, and when should you consider adding it to your pool?

In this Sonco Pools & Spas water chemistry training video, we discuss stain and scale control and why it can be a useful part of regular swimming pool water care.

The specific product shown in this video is Armor Guard, a stain and scale control product.

Metals present in swimming pool water can contribute to staining. That's something you want to avoid on swimming pool surfaces, including a fiberglass pool shell or vinyl pool liner.

Scale is another concern. The video describes swimming pool scale as a chalky, almost baby-powder-like residue that can be left behind by water. This type of buildup can be hard on your swimming pool heater and other pool equipment.

Stain and scale control helps by keeping calcium, scale-forming material, and metals suspended in the swimming pool water. This can help prevent the staining and scale buildup discussed in the video.

This type of product is particularly worth considering if your swimming pool uses well water or if your home's water contains a high level of hardness.

Understanding the characteristics of the water going into your swimming pool can help you determine whether stain and scale control should be part of your regular pool-water maintenance.
