Haviland’s ‘Stain Drop’: diagnose, remove stains

STAIN DROP products from Haviland of Grand Rapids, Michigan are made to diagnose and remove pool stains, and keep pools stain-free, with three formulas that fight stains and two that prevent them.

The Stain Removal Verification (S.R.V.) Kit is handy because it contains three pouches of products for performing surface tests that help determine the right choice of removal product for particular stains. The tests take less than an hour and results save the head-ache of misdiagnosis.

Once the correct removal products have been identified, the stains can be treated. The three stain-removal products within STAIN DROP work individually or together to remove nearly every type of non-organic stain. As surface stains are lifted, the two preventative products trap water-borne metals, allowing for removal by the filter.

STAIN DROP products, formulated, blended and packaged in the USA, with strict quality control methods to ensure peak performance, are available only at authorized professional dealers.
