Welcome to our forum.
Metal-Gon is a sequestering agent A sequestering agent is a chemical that combines with metal ions to help keep them in solution and prevent them from falling on the spa or pool’s surface and leaving a stain.
That sounds similar to LT Defender, "designed to prevent scale formation, aid in the removal of existing scale, and to help prevent precipitation of dissolved solids" Are those solids other metals?"Defender is designed for weekly maintenance. Use Metal Gon during start up to prevent stains from other metals."
Anyone know if using a filter when filling would lessen or eliminate the use of metal sequestering products? Take Care.Gil
