I got some advice from reddit and reading some guides here on the side (I am new!)
I currently have my chlorine levels very high. I have a 14,000 gall pool and I have dumped 4 gallons of 8% bleach about 4 days ago and 2 gallons today. I also dumped about 1 gall of muriatic acid after the bleach to get the pH down for fighting the algae (so 2 gallons total atm)
Since I shocked it with bleach, I have noticed my clarity get better. It is still very very mirky, but i can slowly see more and more. Everytime I add stuff, I get a LOT of foam. Let me try and post some pictures. Is the foam algae dying? Is it a combination of my bleach and acid? Is it my clarifier that I added also doing things? Should I scoop it out or swoosh it around?
What is my plan, just keep adding bleach every day till its gone, backwashing and filtering?
Help! Thanks!
