THIS IS MY POOL 4 DAYS AFTER GETTING IT TO SHOCK LEVEL. I STARTED WITH A SWAMP GREEN AND NOW 7 DAYS LATER I CAN KINDA SEE THE BOTTOM BUT IT IS STILL REAL CLOUDY AND AT THE BOTTOM IS A INCH LAYER OF ALGAE. I CANNOT VACUUM WITH OUT BEING IN THE POOL. SHOULD I STIR THE BOTTOM WITH A BROOM OR GET BACK TO SHOCK LEVEL AND HOPEFULLY THE BLEACH WILL CAUSE IT TO FLOAT TO THE TOP . PLEASE HELP http://photobucket.com/lisas2008pictures

Can't see the pic you linked. I posted in your other thread for you to brush your pool. It would also probably be a good idea if you posted a complete set of current water testing results taken with a drops-based kit for us to look at and then somebody here can better advise you.

Here, I cut and pasted it so see if this one works:

The bleach won't cause it to float to the top, but it will kill it. You can use your pool brush or whatever else you have to stir it up to get it into the filter, or you could get in with it and vacuum. The bleach kills it, but it's gonna have to get to the filter some way to get it out of the pool.

That's a pretty shade of blue, how do you get it that color? Just kidding, i just got out of that situation.
Just do what everyone has already said. First lower your PH down to 7.4 or so. Then apply enough chlorine to put Walmart out of business. Maintain the chlorine level at 20-25ppm and brush it out. Mine eventually cleared but it took some time. Now it's crystal clear.
