Been a faithful follower of Troublefree since 2017 and use 10% liquid chlorine. Super pool performance, can’t complain.
In August 2021 replaced pump and heater (noted in sig). A few months later I mistakenly overdosed the chlorine, not paying attention, and in a few hours the pool water turned green (clear). Consulted the forum and learned it likely was the OD of bleach interaction with the copper? from the heater. A few days later, back to beautiful blue. Was super careful after that.

Except for a week ago, again overdosed on the bleach, water turned green. Figured I’d wait it out again. Rained a lot for several days here. Noticed water was still green. Did OCLT. No loss.
Not sure if it matters but I have not operated the heater since September for the hot tub. I do not close the pool/spa for the winter.
So now wondering what to do. Can anyone assist please?

Typically a high FC level by itself isn't enough to cause a negative interaction with the heater (if it has a copper element). But you replaced it last year so we have to assume the previous heater did have a failed copper element right? If so, that copper is still in the water unless you replaced it. Was a large water exchange ever conducted?
