The Piscimar Scale & Stain Cleaner PM-102 is a concentrated acidic descaler for pools, designed to tackle limescale, mineral deposits and rust stains at the waterline and on stainless steel fittings. Its high-adhesion formula clings to vertical surfaces and works across a wide range of pool finishes – liner, polyester, tile and reinforced membrane.
What is the Piscimar Scale & Stain Cleaner PM-102 used for?
Over time, the pool waterline builds up a stubborn ring of limescale, rust marks and mineral deposits that ordinary cleaning products simply can’t shift.
The Piscimar Scale & Stain Cleaner PM-102 is formulated specifically for this kind of ingrained dirt – breaking down calcium deposits and mineral staining on pool surfaces and stainless steel accessories where a general-purpose cleaner falls short.
It’s the right tool when the grime has bonded to the surface and needs a targeted, strongly acidic product to lift it properly.
How to use Piscimar Scale & Stain Cleaner
Apply the Piscimar Scale & Stain Cleaner PM-102 directly to the affected surface using a brush, sponge or cloth suited to the pool material.
Before you start: identify the areas with visible limescale, rust or mineral build-up. For lighter soiling, dilute the product 50/50 with water. For heavy encrustation, use it undiluted – always follow the label instructions.
Step-by-step cleaning
- Apply the product directly to the surface or via a suitable brush.
- Leave it to work for 5 to 10 minutes, depending on how heavy the build-up is.
- Scrub the worst-affected areas, working the product into any stubborn limescale or staining.
- Rinse thoroughly with water to remove all product residue and loosened deposits.
- Repeat if needed on particularly persistent stains or heavy encrustation.
Important: Scale & Stain Cleaner is a surface cleaner for waterlines, pool walls and stainless steel. It is not a water treatment product and must not be added to the pool water.
When should you use Piscimar Scale & Stain Cleaner?
Reach for the Piscimar Scale & Stain Cleaner PM-102 when you can see limescale rings, rust marks or mineral deposits at the waterline, on pool surfaces or on stainless steel fittings such as ladders, showers or water features.
It’s the right choice when regular cleaning no longer cuts it and the deposits have hardened onto the surface – requiring something more targeted than a standard waterline cleaner.
If the marks are caused by sunscreen, body oils or tanning products, Piscimar Linnet Action is the better fit. Scale & Stain Cleaner is the specialist solution when the problem is calcium, rust, oxidation or mineral encrustation.

When ordinary pool cleaners aren’t enough, the Piscimar Scale & Stain Cleaner PM-102 steps in as a targeted solution for limescale, rust and mineral staining that has bonded to pool surfaces.
The enhanced-adhesion formula holds the product against vertical waterline surfaces long enough to dissolve calcium deposits effectively. It’s also safe to use on stainless steel accessories – ladders, showers, waterfalls and similar fittings.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Piscimar Scale & Stain Cleaner PM-102 actually do?
It removes limescale, rust, oxidation and mineral deposits from pool waterlines, pool surfaces and stainless steel accessories. It’s a surface cleaner, not a water treatment – apply it directly to the affected area, not to the pool water.
Can I pour Scale & Stain Cleaner directly into the pool water?
No. This is a surface cleaning product, not a pool water treatment. Apply it to the surface you want to clean – the waterline, a stained wall or stainless steel fittings – then rinse thoroughly afterwards.
Does it remove limescale from the pool waterline?
Yes. Scale & Stain Cleaner is specifically recommended for calcium and limescale build-up at the waterline, particularly where deposits have hardened onto the surface and won’t shift with regular cleaning.
Will it also remove rust and oxidation stains?
Yes. The formula is designed to tackle both calcium deposits and metal oxidation, making it effective against rust marks and mineral staining on compatible pool surfaces.
Is it safe to use on stainless steel?
Yes. The Piscimar Scale & Stain Cleaner PM-102 is suitable for stainless steel pool equipment and accessories – including ladders, showers and water features. Rinse well after use.
Does it work on liner and polyester pool surfaces?
Yes. Piscimar lists liner, polyester and a range of other pool finishes as compatible surfaces. Follow the label instructions and rinse thoroughly to avoid any residue.
What’s the difference between Scale & Stain Cleaner and Linnet Action?
Scale & Stain Cleaner targets inorganic soiling – limescale, rust, oxidation and mineral deposits. Linnet Action is formulated for organic soiling such as sunscreen, body oils and tanning products at the waterline. Choose based on the type of stain you’re dealing with.
How do I apply Piscimar Scale & Stain Cleaner?
Apply the product to the surface, leave it to act for a few minutes, scrub the affected areas and rinse thoroughly with water. For lighter soiling, dilute 50/50 with water as indicated on the label.
Will it damage tile grout?
Piscimar states that Scale & Stain Cleaner delivers strong descaling action without attacking tile joints. Use it correctly, don’t leave it on longer than directed and rinse the surface well after application.
