METAL MAGIC SPONGE TEST
Is the stain Metallic or Organic? This on site test was developed to answer this question and provide a step-by-
step solution for removal.
Step 1:
Begin by taking a plastic bottle and filling it with rocks or sand and water. Replace the cap and attach a sponge
with rubber bands to the bottle. The bottle must become submersible.
Step 2:
Soak the sponge with PROTEAM METAL MAGIC and place it on the stain under the pool or spa water. Allow the
PROTEAM METAL MAGIC to work on the stain for five minutes.
If the area near the sponge turns yellow, it is an organic stain and should be treated with an algae removal
approach.
If the pool or spa finish returns to the original color, the stain is metallic and will be easily removed. Refer to
Step 4 for the Metal Magic Treatment Guide.
If there is no change in the appearance of the stain, it is a metallic stain with multiple layers. Re-soak the sponge
in PROTEAM METAL MAGIC and place it on the stain for fifteen minutes. If the pool or spa finish returns to the
original color, refer to Step 4 for the Metal Magic Treatment Guide.
If the stain is still present, re-soak the sponge in PROTEAM METAL MAGIC and place it on the stain for thirty
minutes. 99% of the time, the finish will return to the original color in thirty minutes or less. Refer to Step 4 for
the Metal Magic Treatment Guide
Step 3:
Raise the pool or spa water above the normal level to avoid a bathtub ring look to the finish.
Step 4:
Treat the water using PROTEAM METAL MAGIC and Sponge Test time table.
Five Minutes: 1 Quart PROTEAM METAL MAGIC per 10,000 gallons of water.
Fifteen Minutes: 1 Quart PROTEAM METAL MAGIC per 5,000 gallons of water.
Thirty Minutes: 1 Quart PROTEAM METAL MAGIC per 2,500 gallons of water.
Continue running the pump and filter for three days frequently checking the filter pressure and backwashing or
cleaning as necessary. METAL MAGIC lifts the metal stain from the pool or spa surface and changes it into a
crystal that is removed from the water by the filter. The water may turn milky indicating the METAL MAGIC is
working faster than the filter. Continue filtering until the water clears.
PROTEAM METAL MAGIC should be used with a pH at 7.5 or above. It is not affected by Cyanuric Acid levels.
Calcium will be lowered to 350-375 ppm. METAL MAGIC is safe to use on all pool or spa surfaces. It will remove
the metal from the water before it will remove the stain
