So just had my pool opened couple of days ago and was super green. Third year with pool and have loop loc cover. I added two gallons of shock and have vacuumed and cleaned filter cartridges 3 times in 4 days. Water is still super cloudy and looks greenish. I haven’t done a full water test as I am waiting for a new test kit. Any advice to clear up water asap.

Download PoolMath, and use it to figure out how to add 5ppm of FC everyday until your test kit gets there. Then post a full set of results, we will help you with next steps.
You will need your test kit, but likely the next step is SLAM Process Might take some time to read this in preparation!

CYA is a pretty important test because it will determine your FC targets for the SLAM Process. I would just add 5ppm of liquid chlorine daily until the test kit comes in and you can work with more reliable numbers.
I’m sorry to be clueless on that but how many gallons or parts of gallon container would that be?

So add one bottle of that a day for like 3-4 days? Hopefully test kit here by end of week.
