Alright, so I'm looking for quick advice, and I'll update with more info later. Basically I'm trying to decide what the best way to proceed is. My pool cover collapsed due to a leaking pool, that's another ongoing thread..., but basically I've got perhaps 6000 gallons in a 14k pool right now. It's green, very green. I figured I'd shock the gills off of it while I was working on my SWG install. Basically I dropped a PCV pipe from a return down under the water to avoid a splashing mess, and have the pump filtering 24hrs a day while I've dumped 105 FC worth of Chlorine over the past two days.
This has made 0 difference what so ever. My primary goal was to get the SWG wired and ready, while clearing up the pool some. I've got the SWG done, but the pool is a total mess. I've skimmed the bottom with a net, there's no large debris left. But foul green murk, and there's a white skim on the surface as well.
Do I:
Fill to skimmer level to get the vacuum going? Downside would be more water diluting the bleach, thus requiring more chemicals
Continue on current course and get the TF-100 involved.
I've SLAMed before with great success, I hadn't taken a calculated effort at this yet as I was preoccupied with the SWG, and I really expected the water to clear up some with the bleach I dumped in.
SWG if offline, there's no salt in the pool.
Suggestions?
