Is the bleach degrading the tank maybe? Also, it started off a good yellow color When I poured it in, but I went away on an 8 day trip and when I got back it’s this color now. I poured in about 10 gallons when I left. It is injecting about 60 ounces per day into the pool.

Forgot to say, the tank is in my garage, but I am in South Texas and it’s hot already.
