Nah! Soda ash is extremely soluble. And yes, pool water can be cloudy AFTER there's no longer any chlorine demand. There are at least a dozen reasons why that can be the case.

It's usually NOT worthwhile to try to figure out exactly what's going on . . . unless your purpose in having a pool is so you can do water treatment experiments! Instead, get your water right; get your filter right . . . and then wait!
