    The sequesterant itself could be causing the pH drop. You probably have enough in the water at this point to take care of any metals you might be introducing with your fill water. If you have not overdosed on the sequaterant the pH should start to rise of it's own accord in a few days time.

    I was away for a couple of days, and I was just wondering how is the pool doing? Waterbear is right, the sequestering agent will lower the ph a little, and I would think that you have enough in there now - so is there still a lot of stuff fall to the bottom of the pool? If not you can stop vacuuming to waste - You also may want to try to turn the filter off every night to see if more settles out. Let me know how you are doing
