Will this work?

Sorry, must have skipped over the link somehow. Thanks for the info. Gonna give it a shot as soon as order arrives.

Ok. Did a round of ascorbic acid and waited for stains to lift, added the KemTek HEDP that was recommended, and then added my CuLator 4ppm. So far so good. Everything looks brand new. I forgot to order the Polyquat 60 so decided to just risk it with no chlorine for a little bit. I am now on the 28th hour since introducing the ascorbic acid and about 12 hours since the dose of KemTek. Is it ok to start bringing my chlorine back up now? My pool is blue and clear and I am nervous that adding chlorine may somehow release the metals back into the pool like it did last time. Forgive me if this info is posted somewhere else. I read through a lot of other posts and just didn't see a specific amount of time to wait. Thank you.

Yes, but add small doses -- not more than a quart of bleach at time.

Report your test results with this form: PF Pool History

You can see the results, here: PF Pool History SS

I'm not sure of some of your levels, but I'll be able to advise you, once you start using that form.

I just posted my most recent results to the "PF Pool History" linked above. However, I did not provide a thread number because I'm not sure where to find it. This is the only thread that I am a part of though. Thanks.

It's OK -- but it's the number in the URL in your browser link.

The forms are something new -- did you find them easy to use or hard? Does it make sense to you how they can help us, and you? (I'm trying to get feedback, so I can make any corrections needed -- we think these will enable us to do a much better job.)

Yea, I like them. I'm a rookie at this pool stuff so it helps to know what specific information you guys need to know. From reading through the boards quite a bit, it seems like it takes 3-4 posts in some cases for you to collect all the necessary information. By then, a few days or more have passed and the numbers have changed or a new issue may arise. In my case, those are my numbers at the time of having pretty cloudy water. Since it was clear before, I'm assuming it has something to do with the stain removal process and I am waiting it out. However, my CH was pretty high and I'm wondering if that has something to do with cloudy water. Also, the KemTek I added says it is a metal and calcium eliminator. Will this help to lower my calcium level? Thanks.

More specifically, the thread number is the number after the question mark in the URL.
