Thanks Dscriterium I have been adding 10 gallons of bleach per day for the last three days and the FC still will not get above 4.0 and then it will it will not stay there for long. Maybe 3~4hrs. To make matters worse, in about 3hrs I am going to have hernia surgery!!

I am new to this form. I have had my 18x36 inground vinyl pool for four years and this is the first year I have had any problems. About 4 weeks ago the water went from crystal clear to green it seems like overnight. I checked and did not have any cholorine levels, so the fun began. After several trips & $$$$$ at the pool store, I started reading this forum. I bought a Taylor K-2006 test kit and it came in yesterday. Test results, FC-0.2, CC-0.2, TC-0.4, TA-80, ph-6.8, Calcium Hardness-210, CYA-35. I adjusted the TA & ph, also added 5 gallons of bleach. The retest 3hrs later FC-2.8, CC-5.2, TC-8.0, TA-130, ph-7.2, Calcium Hardness-210, CYA-35. This morning, FC-4.0, CC-0.5, TC-4.5, TA-120, ph-7.4, Calcium Hardness-180, Cya-30. Two weeks ago I drained about 1/3 of the water because it would not clear up and I would shock it, check it 3~4hrs later with a dip strip and it would not have any TC or FC. The water is still cloudy with a hint of green. Water temp is 85~88, before I drained it, it was 100~105. Did I mention that I evicted the devil from his house? Thanks
