Perplexed and frustrated. Please help!

Okay then. You are going to have to slam that baby. Your pH should be in range. As soon as you add that CYA and get it to 30/40, buy lots of bleach. Check the freshness, either listed as a date, or as a code like 15210 which is the 210th day of 2015.
I would also recommend getting more 0871 and maybe some DPD powder. You could run out and you will need it eventually anyway.

Even though it looks like the river on St Patrick's day, I am actually feeling really excited and proud right now. Just retested the pH and CYA. pH is still 7.4 and CYA is about 35. Finally feel like I'm making progress and there are some accomplishments. Was starting to doubt myself but I have some renewed spirit. THANK YOU!!
Just checked the the chlorine/CYA chart and will be SLAMming the pool at an FC level of 15. I have the ClearRx Pool Shock with 12.5% Sodium Hypochlorite. According to pool math I should add 1 and 1/3 gallons. Will be starting that now.

You go!!!! Love the Chicago reference! I wonder why they don't dye it Red for our Blackhawks!!!

Hahaha! Big fan here!
What is your pool volume? Your average depth? Trying to make sure you are adding the right quantity of bleach.

3.5 ft depth, volume - 10.5K. Just tested! (Adding my math so I know I'm testing correctly.
FC - 29 drops x .2 = 5.8
CC - 9 drops x .2 = 1.8. (Obviously we have a BIG problem!)
need to to add more chlorine...
out of 12.5%. Starting with 10%. Here we go...

Lots O' Bleach. You really need to order more reagents!!! In the meantime, use a 10 ml sample of pool water for your FC/CC. Each drop counts as 0.5 instead of 0.2. You only need to do the 25ml test when you are REALLY ready to do your OCLT. Save your reagents!!!
Will keep that in mind next time...
FC - 17 x .2 = 3.4
CC - 3 x .2 = .6. (Much better!)
Looks much better too! Adding more chlorine before I go to work.
I have run out of space and can't upload anymore more pics. How do I delete previously used pics from my attachments section?

You can use photobucket or such to upload pics.
Look in my siggy for where to buy the stuff you are going to need to get to keep your SLAM going. Most pool stores do not have the powder.
I can't wait to see daily pics to watch you clear this!

Overdid the chlorine a bit want to try to make some of it last while I'm at work(A LOT of direct sunlight and I don't get home until 7 pm).
FC = 18.5
will check again when I get home.

Added 1/4 gallon of chlorine right after last post to hit shock level. Tested just now - FC - 16.5.
Vacuumed, brushing, and will try to take the stairs out tomorrow. Will also try to retest in about 1 to 1.5 hours.
