The positive results from adding the AA really says it all - iron. But now that the water appears clear, it just means the iron is in water form (solution) and probably can't be filtered by polyfill now. So you have choices:
- Continue with what you are doing. Once you finished with the AA, add a sequestrant and slowly increase the FC level.
- Exchange water right away to get the iron-filled water out.

Today the pool is a beautiful blue but still a little cloudy. I did run the pump all night last without the filters so the AA could do it’s thing. I cleaned the filters before putting them back in also. I shut the pump off and vacuumed out with a hand vac the sediment left from the AA. I did exchange out some water yesterday also. I just tested the water and these are my current numbers:
FC 3.5
CC .2
TA 80
CYA 45
CH 125
PH 7.5
Overall numbers don’t look bad. I have 2lbs of cya in skimmer to get it to the 70. Should I go ahead and increase the CH also? I need 25 lbs to increase it which I have on hand.

No reason to raise the CH. You have no heater or water line tile. So your CH is fine.
Minimum FC for 50 CYA (round up) is 4. Minimum is lava. Don't get burned and stay in target range at a nice safe distance at all times.

I should have said I increased swg to 80% to get my FC to that level with in 6 hours

OK great. Anytime in the future if you need a 'now' boost, like then, add liquid chlorone and then let the SWG maintain the proper level. If you only need 1 or 2 FC, and are still free and clear of minimum, then let the SWG increase it.
