Just wanted to thank everyone again for all your advice. I've been trying to upload a pic of the pool but no luck yet. It looks amazing, crystal clear amazing!!! I got my CL test kit in today and the CL level is at 17. So it is coming down. My CC level is 0. As soon as it gets below 10...

Looks much better. Thanks for sharing. I really wish I had some before pics too. Our pool was about that green and it's now getting to the sparkly side on the shallow end. Still a little cloudy as you get deeper but we can clearly see the pool drains and the pool has no green in it. yay...
