I drained over half the water in the pool over the weekend because of high CYA. CYA is now less than 30, probably less than 20 but the test tube only goes to 30. PH is about 7.1 and TA is 70. I checked free chlorine and it was about 2 so I added enough bleach to bring it to 12 ppm Sunday evening. I checked it this morning and I lost about 3 ppm overnight but I basically have no combined chlorine. I added more bleach this morning and brought it back to 12 and still have no combined chlorine. My pool is solid green and I can not see the bottom. Normally when I shock it the algae will turn a pretty blue by the next morning, not this time. Shouldn't I have quite a bit of combined chlorine with all the algae I have or am I not understanding what combined chlorine is? The filter has also all of the sudden stopped catching anything. I built this pool 3 years ago and it has been a headache from day one. I had a 30' above ground for several years and it never gave me trouble. I'm scratching my head on this one. Any ideas?
