A week ago I notice what looked like dirt in the bottom of the deep end of the pool. Closer investigation led me to believe it was pollen. I ran the vaccuum and cleaned the filter. Seemed to be fine. Yesterday the "pollen" was back on the bottom of the pool. Again, ran the vaccuum except this time the yellow/green "pollen" was simply circulating from the vaccuum to the filter and right back into the pool via the return jets. I am now looking at a completly green pool. The pool is approx 14.5k Gals. The pool store has been telling me "more conditioner" now for 2 weeks. My numbers are as follows: FC 1.5; pH 8.0; TA 100; CYA 45 and phosphates 500. Salinity 3700. So here is my question. Can add Bleach without damaging the SWG (Pentair, Intellichlor) and IF so how much. Any other ideas how I can get rid of the green water and debris on the bottom after the filter has been off for a few hours. Thanks. Doug
