3 gallons of acid. Should I use the Metal-Free.

Water is clearing up, still has sediment and a white cloud when I brush, ph appears to be right at an 8.0. Added another gallon of acid. Looks like no Polaris for 28 days?

I just brushed and added 1 gallon of acid, and 7.5 lbs of DE when I fired up the filter. The spa filled and the water appeared cleaner so hopefully the filter will turn it over. I am on a well so i am hoping it is not iron but the rag that was on the hose when I started filling had some black...

not just cloudy but dirty brown tint to it. ph : 8.0+ acid demand test : 1.25 gallons acid calcium test : 400ppm total alkalinity : 300ppm Chlorine : nil to .5

Pool finished replaster, (white plaster), re-tile, new LED lights. Water is going in right now. I have a skimmer with a couple of tabs in it floating around. I will use the Pool School link for startup. Is it normal for the water to look cloudy while it is filling?
