Started SLAMing my parent's pool (it is the one in my signature) last Saturday (3-25-2017). It was murky green color. Bottom of the pool could be seen but just barely. Added stabilizer and muratic acid to balance the water and started slamming. The pool still seems to be going through a lot of chlorine, typically 4-5 gallons of 8.25% bleach every day. Pool is clearing, yesterday was a blue color, bottom could be easily seen. Yesterday I also vacuumed it for the first time since starting the slam to remove the remaining leaves that we were unable to get with skimmer and to get other stuff of the bottom (backwashed the filter 4 times in about 4 hours while vacuuming.) Should I be concerned about the rate at which chlorine is still being consumed a week later, or is this normal?
