Hello, I need some help figuring out what to do with green algae in my vinyl above ground Intex pool. Last week, we had a couple of days of rain and since then we've been fighting the algae battle. Since opening the pool in mid june, We have been using the BBB (Bleach, Borax and Baking Soda) method for keeping our pool clean, however last week we noticed a cloud of green algae coming up from the bottom of the pool when we would brush the bottom. The water at first sight does not look terrible, maybe just a little cloudy but when I brush the bottom or the kids go in and swim, the pool water starts to look green. I have been keeping the chlorine level really high in the hopes of killing off the algae but I'm not sure how long it should take to see results or even if I am doing this right. My levels today are:
PH: 7.8
FC 22
CC .5
TC 22.5
TA 140
CYA is between 60-70 (was 50 yesterday but seems to have gone up)
Any advice would be great!
