About two weeks ago, my pool first started going green (I think the FC dropped below 3 during a several day period of rain). I got the chlorine to about 8ppm and cleared the pool with flocculent after. It was back to blue, but in 4-5 days we got green again.
Saturday - added bleach to get to 15ppm because the CYA is 45. Added flocculent a few hours later but it didn't sink like the previous time.
Vacuumed yesterday but it was still cloudy and FC was at 2.5.
Last night I added shock (cal-hypo 56%) to get to close to 20ppm, woke up to a significantly cloudier pool and am at a loss. I really would like to get it green to be able to enjoy as much of the season left as we can, without it turning green 4 days later!
PH 7.6

I have a test kit but not a Taylor one, I know I should go buy one but just currently don't have that available. The pool is an aboveground vinyl pool, 18000 gallons, sand filter (sand was changed 2 years ago, looks fine still but considering replacing).
