The pool started green and full of leaves. I believe I have removed most of the leaves. Shocked it 2 days ago with HTH super-shock ( 2lbs) followed by 6 ounces of HTH algicide. Have been running pump non-stop since. Much bluer yesterday but very cloudy. Spent last couple of days reading thepoolforum and pool solutions and found my way here - looking to implement the BBB method of pool management (maybe BBBB with the borates?). Added 1 gallon of 10% bleach yesterday. Before adding the bleach I tested with an HTH 6 way (I have a K-2006 on order) with the following - Chlorine 3 to 5 ppm, Ph 8.2, CYA - no reading, didn't test alk or calcium. Will do so today. I am just wondering what my next steps should be? Add CYA? Lower Ph? Continue adding bleach until it clears? Thanks much. In gratitude for all of the fantastic information I found on Pool forum and here, I have made a bronze donation to trouble free pools. I think I have included all of the necessary info in my signature, but if not please let me know. Thanks, Cory.
