Super Stain Away
"Compare Super Stain Away to Pool Magnet®, Super Sequa-Sol® and Metal Control®. This concentrated formula prevents ugly stains, scaling and brown water due to minerals and will actually lighten some"

Warning,

"Don't be fooled by the name - Super Stain Away is not meant to REMOVE stains. It is made to prevent stains, and maybe lighten them. I have brown stains due to heavy metals in the well water. After using this product, nothing happened. The agent at In The Swim informed me I got the wrong product if I was trying to remove stains. Too bad I bough the 4-pack!"

Amazing Customer Service,

Pros: Fast Shipping, good for well water, would recommend
Cons: none, we love the product and the customer service
"We ordered this product with some chlorine and shock. We received the chlorine and shock but also received a Magic Jack Tile stain gel instead of this Super Stain product. Called 800 number and explained what happened. As it turns out, they didn't recognize the product we received. Took a picture and emailed it while on the phone. They couldn't find it in their system. So, they sent us the correct product and we kept the wrong product also. I'm sure we can find a use for it.
Can't say we've used this bottle of Super Stain yet, but in the past it has been perfect for our well water and I expect it will be again."

Works great for fiberglass pool!,

Pros: got rid of tan, metal stain. less expensive than other stain removers
Cons: used it only once, has to be diluted instead of pouring it right from a bottle, but that's easy
"I've been battling tan metal stains in my pool for the last couple years. The ascorbic acid treatments were getting expensive, and were not a preventative either. This is both a stain treatment and preventative. I tried it out the other day just for comparison, and was amazed that the tan stains were completely gone the next day! It was much more effortless than the ascorbic acid, plus no need to rebalance the pool either. Just pour it into a bucket of water to dilute, pour the mixture around the edge of the pool, and done! I know that the tea-colored/tan stains cause fiberglass pool owners to go nuts, so if that's you, definitely give this a try!"

Pros: Easy to use and works immediately. This is the second summer that I've used this product and would recommend this.
Cons: There are no cons. This product is amazing. I can not come up with anything that would be a con,
"I've maintained a backyard vinyl pool for over 40 years. Five years ago we had to drill a new well and that is when our metal stains started. I've constantly fought this problem since and even resorted to paying for water to be hauled in. I tried this product and it worked immediately. I've tried many other products and this is the only one that works for my pool."

Great company, poor product for my pool,

Pros: Great company to order from
Cons: Product did not work for my situation
"I ordered this product and it simply did not work. I then wrote a bad review of the product. In the Swim called me to talk about the problem and offered to refund my money! I thought that was pretty wonderful as I see no statements of that sort on their website.
I will certainly order from them again and will try a different product.
So no stars on the product for me but 5 stars for the company ethics."

Pros: buying from in the swim, great service
Cons: product worked marginally
"I purchased the concentrated thinking that it would better attack my staining problem, the non-concentrate had received a high rating by other users, I had some reduction in stain but the pool is only marginally better...will be trying something else"

Amazing Results,

Pros: Took the stains out quickly
Cons: none
"We have iron in our well water that caused lots of staining in the pool, on the liner, in the skimmer, on the steps; Super Stain Away removed these right before my eyes! I had used several metal removers over the past 2 years, but, none of them helped to remove the old stains like this product.
I turned off the pump and poured a portion into the skimmer (it was stained the worse) allowed it to set for a few minutes and the stains totally disappeared! This was really amazing since we usually had to go through ascorbic acid treatments to get anywhere near this much stain removed. After the water circulated for about 30 mins, the stains on the liner were going away too.
This is so simple to use. Thanks so much Intheswim, I can always count on your products."
