I’ve added 6 gallons of bleach. It went from a brownish black to this green. Filter has been running 24/7 for 3 days. I’ve backwashed a few times for about 30 servings to a minute. Just wait longer or?

What is your CYA?
How are you testing your pool water chemistry?

I have a Tf Pro test kit. The CYA is 0. I filled the tube and the water was clear.

OK --
Follow the SLAM Process
That starts with getting 30 ppm CYA worth of stabilizer dissolving using the sock method. Then raise the FC to 12 ppm and maintain every few hours.

Great. Thanks!

Update: Water is much better. Still cloudy so I'm assuming I should keep up SLAM levels until that's gone. Is it safe to add the salt in now though?
