Earthborn Elements Vitamin C Powder (1 Gallon)

OMG. OMG. OMG. It worked, my pool is like new again. This $ 27 product saved me an unnecessary $8000 cost for pool resurfacing that was advised by a pool care person. For the last 3 years I watched in sadness and despair my pool getting yellow stains that does not scrub off and kept on enlarging slowly until it covered the whole surface, bottom and walls. I spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars buying all kinds of yellow stain treatment and chlorine shocks from Amazon as well as local pinch a penny store who told along with a pool care person who came to see it that my pool is 25 years old and needs to be redone. I saw this ascorbic acid idea on YouTube and decided to try it as a last resort. I ordered a smaller 3.25 lbs size to avoid another waste of money on a large tub. I used about half of it in my 10,000 gallons pool at about 5:00 pm and ran the circulation overnight. I woke up in the next morning and the stains completely disappeared on their own, no scrubbing needed or done. It's a miracle.

Excellent!! Used to get stains out of our pool. Worked great!!!

SOLVED !!! (Raining when I took the picture) I had Huge brown/yellowish/gold/copper/black stains all over the floor of my vinyl pool liner with clear balance water that would not budge with brushing or scrubbing. Covering the bottom of the pool mostly in the common walking areas. My experience was not an instant dissolving like the videos on the internet. In fact, it took 12-16 hours before noticing it was even working. After 48 hours my Liner inside my Ionizer/Salt Pool LOOKED BRAND NEW !!! WOW !!! (9yr old pool). 1. Unplug Ionizer/Chlorine generator. Turn off Pump for 8 hours to stop all water movement. 2. Pour in around the edges and wait 2-8 hours, then turn pump on. 3. Vacuum and backwash after 24 hours and 48 hours. (Mine looked brand new at this point) 4. Shock your pool. Turn on Ionizer/Chlorine generator system. Worth EVERY PENNY of my $50. Amazing Job. I was very skeptical before I used it.

Pure magic, just wait 2-3 days and all the stains will disappear like magic. I used 2 full buckets to cover the whole above the ground pool area, the liner looks like brand new, like I just bought this pool, unbelievable!

I take ~3g of Vitamin C crystals buffered with bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) every morning and every evening. Ratio 4:1, which I THINK follows Pauline's practice (though I can't find the reference now). I take quite a bit more when I think I'm infected with a virus, but that doesn't happen very often. I've never bought a whole gallon (8 pounds) at a time before, but the price was right and the quality seems fine. It might last me close to 2 years, which will take me past the Best Before date, but I've repackaged it in smaller ziploc bags in our cool basement, and I expect it to be good to the last gram. The bucket is a pain to open. Literally. With a pull tab that takes more force to break than my thumb could deliver. Fortunately I reached for my little multitool before I hurt myself and it opened fine. As I was scooping out some of the powder into smaller containers (from previous bulk C purchases), I thought I had hit a big lump, but it was a packet of dessicant! No lumps AFAICS. :-) My only complaint is that the powder is a bit FINER than I like. Not a big deal, but after I spoon out my ~3g with a 1/2t=2.5g measuring spoon, the spoon is covered with fine C powder, like powdered sugar. My favorite bulk C is a bit coarse, and leaves the spoon clean, like ordinary granulated sugar. But that's a small problem, and I'd be happy to buy this again when I finally finish this big batch. :-)

Poured this all around my 18x36 pool due to severe ugly stains on my vinyl liner...worked like magic!! We stood there and watched as stains disappeared!! Left pump running all nite by morning EVERY stain was gone!!

Good stuff,

Better value than tablets or capsules. I consume a half tsp 4x/day to absorb plant iron: after beans and rice X2, and after raw veggies in the nutrabullet x2. Better yet, there's no gelatin, which is made with cow hooves, which are empty calories and animal based. Stays fresh. I'll try their one gallon competitor next order since significantly cheaper.
