Brand: Jack's Magic SKU: JMIRON1
Product Overview
Jack's Magic Stain Solution #1—The Iron, Cobalt & Spot Etching Stuff—is a non-acidic swimming-pool stain treatment supplied in a 1-pound container. It is formulated for confirmed iron, cobalt, and spot-etching stains on common pool surfaces and is used without draining the pool. Because different stains can look similar, Jack's Magic recommends identifying the stain before beginning a full-pool treatment. The Stain ID Kit is the preferred first step when the cause is uncertain.
The standard Stain Solution #1 treatment uses 2 pounds per 12,000 gallons, so this 1-pound container supplies half of that standard amount. Pool volume, stain identification, chlorine level, circulation, and the complete treatment sequence must all be considered before dosing. The current treatment instructions generally require chlorine to be reduced below 1 ppm and the chlorinator, feeder, or salt system to be turned off during treatment. After Shock is commonly used when controlled chlorine reduction is needed.
Stain Solution #1 often produces visible results within approximately 48 hours, but treatment time can vary. Do not treat this product as a general maintenance chemical or combine concentrated pool products directly. Follow the current Jack's Magic label and treatment instructions, maintain the required circulation, and keep swimmers out until treatment is complete and the water has returned to an appropriate swimming range.

Dosage and Treatment Notes
The standard treatment dosage is 2 pounds per 12,000 gallons. This container holds 1 pound, so two containers are required for the standard 12,000-gallon dose. Confirm the pool volume and stain type, then follow the complete current treatment instructions rather than applying the powder as a spot treatment unless the label specifically directs it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will one 1-pound container treat 12,000 gallons?
No. The standard treatment uses 2 pounds per 12,000 gallons, so two 1-pound containers are required.
Should the stain be identified first?
Yes. Use the Jack's Magic Stain ID Kit or another reliable diagnostic method because the wrong treatment may not address the stain.
Can swimmers remain in the pool during treatment?
No. Follow the current treatment instructions and resume swimming only after the treatment is complete and water chemistry has returned to an appropriate range.
Why Buy the 1-Pound Stain Solution #1 from Big Frog Supply?
The 1-pound size provides flexibility for smaller calculated doses or for completing a treatment quantity without purchasing an oversized container. Big Frog Supply also carries the Stain ID Kit, After Shock chlorine reducer, sequestrants, and the 2-pound version so the treatment can be assembled around the actual pool volume and confirmed stain.
