Intex 5,000 gallon (16x4). Standard filter that came with it (purchased at Target).
Live in LA and for the first 6 weeks of summer all of our levels were perfect. Went out of town and got green algae.
Used high doses of KemTek chlorinating granules which I use regularly but don't think I was using enough. So I shocked with KemTek, vacuumed, then started adding a gallon of bleach morning and night to get rid of the green (4 cycles so far). Water is blue now for 2 mornings straight but still can't see the bottom. FC and TC are high (super saturated color off the chart on the test strips) and no, I don't have the 6-way test kit you recommend, just the cheap drop kit. How will this cloudy water go away?
