    You're doing the right things except, take the floater out of the pool. No more trichlor; your CYA is high enough. Are there any other products you have added? There has been no change in the color since you began? Still green? Do the walls feel slimy? Do you fill from a well?

    I would also bump the chlorine up to 20 ppm, since the CYA has gotten so high Keeping it at 15 is walking a fine line between enough and not enough (see the Best Guess chart in Watermom's and my sigs)

    that should work for now- get the FC a little higher, and it should start clearing away...

    OK 10-4 on the floater.

    The only other thing i have put in was some muratic acid because the PH was high.
