I have a 27k gallons pool. For the past 3 weeks (after a big storm) I can't get the water clear. The water is green and while it looks better (I can see the stairs) the pool is unusable. I tried everything from backwashing once a day, to pouring 8 gallons of chlorine, 3 bags of extra shock, algaecide, chlorine tablets and running the pool (on vacuum) 12 hours a day. Nothing worked

Here are the latest water results done by NPS Pool & Spa Supply
*Total Chlorine 1.2
*Free Chlorine 0.9
*Ph 7.4
*Total Alkalinity 105
*Calcium Hardness 750
*Stabilizer 130
*Total Diss. Solids 5100 -------- they say I have to drain it and refill it with clean water because this number is high. Leslie gave me the same advice
*Phosphate 200
*Shock Treatment 0.3

I don't want to drain the pool after I spent so much on chemicals but I honestly have no idea what to do anymore.
The pump is a sand pump

Thank you for any advice, help
