Green pool, I'm losing faith in the fight!!

Is there another label on the pump? That looks like the motor label only. Although I would expect the HP and SF to actually be shown instead of ----.
Was there a jug count anywhere in this post? Just curious how many jugs, what size and percentage you went through?
I'll look for another label.
I will go back and count the jug # tomorrow.

I was wondering the same thing. My pool looks very similar so I think I am going to have to go through the same thing. How much bleach should I get and how much did you add at a time? Very promising seeing your pool go from green to blue!!!
I will get back to you tomorrow, didn't get a chance to add up the bottles today.

Wow, congrats on a great job!! I've been following this thread and love the start to finish pics! It's a great inspiration, and I hope my SLAM is as successful as yours 
The pattern I've seen is clearing up a pool ends up using *very* roughly 2 gallons of bleach per 1000 gallons of pool water.
That is not at all exact, just a very rough average, and is a total *not* what you pour in all at once
Rough bottle count is right at 28-32 121 oz Walmart GV Bleach bottles for the entire slam.
JVTrain, there are no other labels on the pump, it is etched near the first label "1-1/8"

Checking back in with updates!
Pool still looks great...
I do wake up to some green patches here and there every morning. I sweep asap and keep an eye on my levels.
I'm currently at:
PH: 7.2
Alk: 100
FC: 3~4
CC: 0
CYA: 40
I'm starting to think with the recent rain that the algae is increasing even though my test is dead on and I sweep daily.
I added about 8 lbs of baking soda yesterday to get my Alk right.
Today maybe a little cloudy water too.
Suggestions?

I think you need to follow the ShockLevelAndMAINTAIN Process again if you are seeing algae and the water is that cloudy.
Are you keeping your FC always above the minimum? Does it ever, and I mean ever drop below the minimum? I'm very unusual for you to complete a SLAM and maintain proper FC levels and start getting algae and cloudy water again.
I don't know for sure, with work and travel I've had a roommate looking after it at times. I can say that it's a definite possibility that it dropped below minimum.
Either way if you are seeing algae and clarity issues then yes, you should SLAM again. Should go quickly since you caught it early.
