Description
DuraChlor Stain Remove + Prevent Bundle, 2 Lb Stain Eliminator + 1 Qt Rust-N-Scale
Pull existing stains, lock new ones out.
The DuraChlor Stain Remove + Prevent Bundle (SKU PST-KIT-STAIN) pairs the two DuraChlor products you need to deal with metal staining the right way, remove first, then prevent. You get 2 lb of DuraChlor Stain Eliminator, a fast-acting dry treatment that pulls copper, iron, and manganese stains off the pool surface, plus 1 quart of DuraChlor Rust-N-Scale, a sequestrant that crystallizes dissolved metals so the filter sweeps them out and they cannot stain again.
Why PST Customers Pick This
Step 1: Pull Existing Stains
DuraChlor Stain Eliminator (MPN C002837-CS20B2) is a dry, phosphate-free formula that hits the pool surface and starts lifting copper, iron, and manganese staining in minutes. Designed to work in tandem with Rust-N-Scale for a complete treatment.
Step 2: Crystallize and Filter
DuraChlor Rust-N-Scale (MPN C003222-CS20Q) crystallizes dissolved metals so they bind into particles your cartridge, DE, or sand filter can actually trap. The metals leave with the next backwash or filter clean instead of plating back onto the surface.
Near-Instant Stain Lift
The Stain Eliminator is formulated for fast knock-down, expect to see metal staining fade within hours of dosing, not days. Brush stubborn spots while the product is active to accelerate the lift.
Reduces Calcium Hardness
Rust-N-Scale doubles as a scale defender, holding excess calcium in solution so it stops plating heater tubes, salt cells, and the tile line. One bottle, two jobs.
All Sanitizer, All Surface
Safe in chlorine, bromine, salt, and mineral systems, and compatible with vinyl, plaster, pebble, and fiberglass surfaces when applied per label.
Matched Pair, Bundle Price
DuraChlor's published guidance is to run these two products together. The kit pricing is below retail, so you do not pay twice for the proper protocol.
Handling Notice
Always balance pH to 7.2-7.4 and lower free chlorine below 1 ppm before dosing the Stain Eliminator, high chlorine can re-oxidize metals back onto the surface. Dose Rust-N-Scale only after the stain treatment cycle is complete. Add chemicals to water, never water to chemicals. Wear gloves and eye protection. All chemical sales are final.

Frequently Asked Questions
In what order do I use the two products?
Step 1, prep the water. Balance pH to 7.2-7.4 and let free chlorine drop below 1 ppm. Step 2, dose Stain Eliminator per label, brush stained surfaces while it acts, and run the pump for at least 8 hours. Step 3, dose Rust-N-Scale once the stains are lifted, this crystallizes any remaining dissolved metals so the filter can capture them. Clean or backwash the filter after the run.
Does Stain Eliminator work on organic stains like leaves or berries?
No, this product is formulated for metal stains specifically -- copper from algaecides or copper-based heater elements, iron and manganese from well-water fill. Organic stains (leaf tannin, berries, worms) lift with a chlorine shock, not a metal remover.
Will this protect my salt cell from scaling?
Yes. Rust-N-Scale binds excess calcium so it stays in the water column instead of plating onto the salt cell plates. Combined with monthly cell inspections, you can extend cell life significantly in hard-water regions.
Can I dose both products at the same time?
No. Always run Stain Eliminator first with low chlorine, let it complete the lift, then add Rust-N-Scale to lock the dissolved metals into a filterable form. Stacking them simultaneously cuts the effectiveness of both.
Is this safe on a vinyl liner pool?
Yes. Both products are safe on vinyl, plaster, pebble, and fiberglass when used per label. As with any stain treatment, do a small spot test on a low-visibility section of the liner first if you have unusual coloring.
