Atrazine stains

Help!!Some atrazine granules blew-off to my concrete deck and also into the pool bottom, leaving the consequent ugly brownish stains.Is there any chemical specially formulated to remove these stains?(or homemade brew?)Thanks

There are some pool chemicals made specifically for stain removal but I think they may work best for metal stains. Suggest you visit your local pool store. Let me know if you have any success and I am glad to know atrazine will stain pools since I have one. Good luck.

Thank you very much for the tip.You were right on the mark. It ocurred to me some acidic solution may do the trick and a few weeks ago I just wetted the stains with muriatic acid (as used in pools)and the stains were gone immediately.RegardsAlberto
