Trusted Pool Protection with Stain & Scale Treatments

When it comes to protecting your pool, stains and scale are two of the most common (and frustrating) problems. Metals like copper and iron cause discoloration, while hard water leaves behind rough calcium deposits. Left untreated, these issues can damage surfaces, shorten equipment life, and leave your pool looking less than inviting.

That’s why pool owners trust Benchmark Pool Supply’s Stain & Scale Collection. Our products are designed to prevent scale buildup, remove existing stains, and keep your pool water clear and balanced all season long.
