Does adding more chlorine clear up brown pool water? The water is brown from to much iron in the water and then I shocked it. So curious if more chlorine will clear it up?

Answer:

No, more chlorine probably will not clear this up. In fact, chlorine is probably the reason it is now brown as chlorine oxidizes the metals to make them colored and have the potential to stain and scale. Add a dose of metal remover/neutralizer in order to get rid of the metals in the pool.
