Ok, so I got home last night and vacummed out all the dead algae I could get to - Sent it all to waste. Backwashed and rinsed filter
PH still high, added 1 QT muriatic acid
5 lbs chlorine
Brushed the whole pool and dipped out any floating gunk.

This am the water is blue and cloudy - Gets a little clearer every day. I took a sample to the pool store:
FC: 21
TC: 23
PH: 8.0 ??
ALK: 100
CYA: According to them - they cannot test becasue the water is cloudy (Test strip says 0)
Here's a new one:
Phosphates: 1500 - Of course, I need to buy a bottle of Phos-Free....???

From what I can tell, I have been making progress, and am probably some stabilizer, and a couple more days of staying after it from being able to swim. Should I use the Phos-Free?
