4. The water is green but clear, not cloudy, I can see the bottom of the pool floor
5. Shocked pool for first time 4 days ago, with Super Shock
6. Added 1/2 box of Borax today.
7. Last test results- 1 hour ago...Chlorine 1.5 and pH level 7.6
8. Filter has been running 24/7 and my husband back washes morning and evening.

PLEASE HELP if you can!

Last year I found Ben's site and used Borax to raise my pH and never had another problem the rest of the swim season. I have never encountered green water before.

Thank you so much
