The pool has sat dormant for 4 months and had a great olive green color to it. Per leslie's pool I dumped in roughly 30 pounds of dichlor over a three or four day period. no substantive improvement and then I found this site. Bought 40 gallons of 12.5% bleach from Hills Brothers Chemicals (3.75/gal in 6 Gallon jugs). After adding 6 gallons per day for a couple of days the pool is a light green, but still won't clear. I don't trust any of the numbers I'm getting for CYA because the water is so cloudy. Two different pool stores have tested for CYA a few dozen times and it always comes out different, ranging from 0 to +100, bouncing as much as 40 points in a day. I decided to do a partial drain and replace some of the water to get the CYA level down. When I dropped the water level I could see a hard scale all over the plaster.
