Sounds like you have a real mess on your hands!! I'm sure we can help you get it cleaned up, but a few questions first:
1)What size pump, and what size/type filter do you have?
2)What is the ingredient in your "shock"?
3)What algaecide are you using?
4)What is your CYA and pH level, and how are you testing?

With some more info, we should be able to help you set up a plan to get it cleaned up.
Hi, I have some info. I should also have mentioned that I use a Nature 2, so a new one was installed a week ago at pool opening.

1. The pump is Hayward 3/4 hp, Model C48J2N131B1. The filter is Pro Series Model S220T, the only size I could find is that it holds 250 lbs sand (unless I'm looking in the wrong place).
2. I use GLB SuperSonic shock, active ingredient is 73% calcium hypochlorite.
3. For algaecide, I have 4 oz left of Clear Result Polyclear 60, and the pool company brought me Aquabrite Quad 60 Algaequell to start next.
4. Using a BioGuard strip, I just read total alkalinity 125, pH 7.4, and both free chlorine and bromine at 10.

Thanks in advance!
