Following this plan: Ascorbic Treatment to rid Pool of metal stains
But wondering if slight modification will still work in terms of the order of the process. Added polyquat, have FC down to about 2...pH down to 7.2. The instructions say ascorbic acid next then sequestrant after stains removed. What I wanted to try was sequestrant first, see if that is enough to remover most of the stains by itself, and then the next day use ascorbic to clean up what sequestrant didn't get.
-Thinking possible benefit to this order of chemicals is having to use less AA which will cause less headache re-balancing after.
1. Any downside using sequestrant first before possible AA use?
2. Instructions say to recirculate during AA treatment, does that hold true when adding sequestrant as well?
Thanks
