+ Add 4 gallons of PLAIN 6% bleach each evening
+ Add 1/2 gallon of muriatic acid; test pH following AM (adding acid page linked in my sig)
+ Turn off your SWCG -- you're just wearing it out, and it's not all that helpful in this situation, anyhow. (Use SWCG to MAINTAIN clean pools; not clean up swamps!)
+ There are all sorts of reasons why your pH might be high -- not going to speculate. Let's get your pool cleaned up, and then see if you have a pH problem.
+ Do not worry about salt levels, TA, CH, etc till your pool is clean.
+ Do worry about CYA: what was your stabilizer level on closing this fall, and what is it now?
