Clorox Outdoors Now what??

I am surprised that the water cleared out so fast. After the 15 bottles of Spash Proof, I put in 12 bottles of bleach, 1 gal of muratic acid (to bring down the ph so I could aerate, my TA is high) Since then in just 36 hours the pool is clear, fc is 10 and ph is 7.2. The detergency must have helped because the entire bottom of the pool had mustard algae on it, and it's gone about 98%. I have only added 4 more bottles of bleach today. I have spent a lot more time fighting mustard algae than this before. I have been scooping foam off, but I'll pick up some pool first aid tomorrow on the way home.

What are the ingredients in pool first aid?

Detergency: The critical need to discourage someone or something immediately.

That's pretty good, Dave! I often have 'detergency' when dealing with my two 14 month old pups! Now, why can't they be calm like their 8 year old 'sister?'

After one week, I still have foam on top and need to shock the mustard algae again. It came back with a vengeance after letting the chlorine levels drop back to 6-8 ppm.

Yeah, it's said to be a real bear to deal with. You're going to have to make sure that it's gone, and that you have scrubbed every little niche where it could be hiding in order to completely get rid of it--light niches, ladder steps, etc...
