    Maybe the water is cloudy as a result of the stain treatment. The water clouded after adding Super Sequa Sol but it cleared up in 24 hours. At that point I started to slowly raise the PH and was going to begin chlorine at 48 hours after adding the sequester.

    However, it rained about an inch after the water has cleared from the sequester - immediately after the rain I checked the pool out and it has been cloudy since.

    Just tested it again the the FC = 5 and CC = 5 and that was two hours after adding about 30 ounces of chlorine. So, it looks like we're starting to make a little progress. It's pretty hard to tell but I would say the water is very slightly more clear than last nite.

    Can't tell if any re-staining is going on yet - water isn't clear enough.

    Thanks to all, Bob

    There are two things going on here and you need to finish one before starting the other. You are really still finishing the metal treatment process - follow mbar's suggestions. Once you get that complete - then worry about the cloudy water.
