Zodiac 1L Metal Remover

Zodiac Metal Remover – 1L (WPQMM1)

Protect your pool surfaces and equipment from metal staining and scale with Zodiac Metal Remover. Dissolved metals — particularly iron, copper, and manganese — are a common cause of brown, green, and black staining on pool surfaces, as well as scale formation on salt cells and heat exchangers. Zodiac Metal Remover sequesters and removes these metals from the water before they can cause damage, keeping your pool looking clean and your equipment running efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes metal staining in pools?

Metal staining is caused by dissolved metals — most commonly iron, copper, and manganese — in pool water. These metals enter the water through fill water (especially bore water or tank water), corroding metal fittings, algaecides containing copper, or ionisers. When chlorine is added or pH changes, these metals oxidise and precipitate onto pool surfaces as coloured stains.

What colour stains do different metals cause?

Iron typically causes brown or rust-coloured stains. Copper causes blue-green stains. Manganese causes black or purple stains. A metal remover/sequestrant addresses all of these by keeping metals dissolved and in suspension so your filter can remove them.

Is Zodiac Metal Remover a sequestrant or does it actually remove metals?

Zodiac Metal Remover works as a sequestrant — it binds to dissolved metals and keeps them in suspension, preventing them from oxidising and staining surfaces. Over time, with regular filtration, the bound metals are removed from the water. For heavily stained surfaces, a dedicated stain remover may also be needed.

How often should I use Metal Remover?

Use as a preventative treatment when filling your pool, after adding water from a metal-rich source (bore water, tank water), or whenever metal levels are elevated. Regular maintenance doses help prevent staining from recurring. Follow the label directions for correct dosage.
