    Thanks for the advise!! I added the sequesterant yesterday. The water looks better, first improvment that I have seen for weeks. However it is still green. I can see apx 2-3 ft. down. I will be testing the water later today and see if there is still any metals in the water and if so adding more sequesterant, is it ok to add two days in a row? If I do not have any metals left then I will continue to shock to a level of 15ppm. I will post the pools number later today. Thanks!!

    You can can add sequeserant as often as you have to to keep the metals in suspension. You won't hurt anything by putting too much sequesterant in you water, but not enough will leave some metals free to fall out of suspension and land on the surface of your pool. You will have to maintain enough sequesterant in your water on a continueing basis if you have metals in your water. You can add your fill water through your filter, and don't shock when you first add water new water, untill you let it circulate enough to bind with the sequesterant.
