Answer:

It sounds as though you may have an issue with a metal or other contaminant from your fresh water. This would be true if the stain only comes back after you have topped off the pool with fresh water. If after you have treated it, it is absent until the addition of fresh water, then you know that it is something in that. If so, I would add regular dosage of metal/stain remover and an extra dose any time you top off with fresh water.
