unusual situation I had

I'm agreeing with A and Todd; Before I can wink the Whink rust is gone

Thanks to all, with in the few days I will go there update here with pics. I also think it is rust, but I will be prepared with a rust remover and ammonia as well.

Look something like this? Top corner towards me is wet carpet. Untouched area is brighter. View attachment 77874
Yes I trampled it lol. I was trying to get other angles to see if it changed by light.

I can see some brownish stains, were you be able to remove all of that?

I have something called brown out and as far as I know it is very effective product, I will have that with me as well. Which ever it works I will use that.

Be especially careful with primarily hydrofluoric acid rust removers. They work great on rust, but do not allow it to get on your fingers. Be sure to wear gloves. No rust remover is safe, but some are much safer than others. We worked for several months to get T-Rust as safe as possible and still work well.

To late now but on the first job everyday flush your line in the toilet to clean the old water or chems from the day before. Let the water flow until its clean. easy and worth the time.

I got the T-rust (Bridgepoint), I do trust Bridgepoint products. It also contains ammonium biffluride. Should I still buy a ammonia cleaner?

Don't go crazy bouncing your ph. Vinegar is an acid but I agree with the rust and whatever contaminants were trapped in your lines. In other words try to get your ph back to an acceptable level. Acid will set some stains.

I will try a normal stain removal 9-9.5ph first on a small 1 inch area and see if that moves it or not. Then I will continue according.

I bought ammonia cleaner as well, I will go there tomorrow morning.

I have ph level tester strips, I will test the ph level first. If it's low pH then I will begin with a high ph cleaner, if it's high ph then low pH cleaner will be used.

Ok great day for me. It went fine. It was a rust stain that showed up when the carpet dried fully. I have tested the ph level and it was 7-8ph which I usually leave the carpets nice soft and fluffy behind. As you can see the picture the rust stain was bigger then I thought, so I have used the pink solution to remove some of it so that way my rust stain remover bottle can last for the whole job. Thank you for all specially for Todd who gave me the idea about it being rust. I will return the ammonia cleaner.
