Iron

Iron is a common water contaminant. It is a metal that can cause staining and water discoloration. Levels of iron above 0.3 ppm (mg/L) can be very problematic. Excess iron can cause stains on the liner and/or interior of your pool or spa. High levels of iron can also lead to rust on metal fixtures and in plumbing. Also high levels have been known to develop a metal taste in the water.

This problem can be substantially lessened or eliminated through the use of metal chelators or sequestering agents that help to eliminate harmful levels of metals. They work by combining with the iron in the water to form particles that your filter system can remove.
