I am going to do the AA treatment on my pool for iron staining, then drain right after stains are gone, refill with city water and rebalance the chemistry.
Do I need to add sequestrant before draining? I don't want iron stains to form again before the pool empties but seems like throwing away money to add sequestrant and drain.
Do I need to raise the pH before draining? According to the AA treatment article I don't rebalance the chemistry for 24 hours after AA treatment. This is probably for the sequestrant to do its thing so I don't think it's necessary because I'm draining right away. I just don't want the low pH to damage the plaster or anything else.
