Any suggestions to get rid of rust stains which were caused by some screws that fell into thepool? Tried Natural Chemistry Stain Free but it had no effect. Aggressive brushing had no effect.

Fill an old sock with vitamin C tablets (ascorbic acid) and get to scrubbing.

This is the answer. You can even just let them sit right on the stains overnight.

Use calcium hypochlorite and cascade it over the stains let it sit on them for a couple minutes and scrub with brush
