How to Get a Dirt Stain out of the Pool
Swimming pools require regular cleaning and maintenance to not only keep them looking their best but to ensure they remain safe to swim in. Outdoor pools in particular have a common problem of dirt blowing in and accumulating at the bottom of the water. Pools normally shouldn't be drained to remove dirt stains since draining the pool potentially damages the pool's structural integrity. You need different methods to clean the dirt off effectively. Does this Spark an idea?

Scrub at the dirt stains with a pool brush. This loosens the dirt from the pool lining or surface so the filter is able to remove it. An outdoor pool needs regular scrubbing to prevent dirt deposits from building up.

Place a pool vacuum into the water and run the attachment over the remaining dirt stains. Pool vacuums are specifically designed to remove larger debris from the bottom of a pool that may be too big for the filter to handle.

Turn your pool filter onto its highest setting to increase its filtering speed. This increases its ability to filter from the water the dirt dislodged by the brush and the vacuum. This prevents dirt from re-accumulating. Turn the filter back down to its normal setting after several hours.

Add a stain remover to any stubborn stains that remain. Pool stain cleaners typically come in tablet form. Drop several tablets into a sock and use a stick to rub the sock over the stains as the tablets dissolve in the water. Turn off the filter while doing this and let the tablets set in for at least 15 minutes before turning the filter back on. The dirt stains should dissolve within a few minutes.
