non-chlorine sanitizer

[pgk in new mexico]

I had already put in 3 times the recommended amount of Metal Free by Natural Chemistry 4 days before adding the chlorine (had a bit of trouble getting the alkalinity down and then getting the PH up). Can one put in too much sequestrant or is Metal Fee a poor product?

Metal Free is EDTA, a non-chlorine stable sequestrant. Not something I'd recommend for regular use in a chlorinated pool!

However, the solution to your problem is some what complicated. Here's a thread that covers it in some detail:
