I'm sorry, but I've had to stop trying to help commercial pools. I do that professionally. But, it's too complex to do here.
Staff / board members / managers are transient; multiple people have to sign off on decisions -- it's simply to complex to do over the internet.
You're welcome to read -- though you'll need to log out to do so -- and you are welcome to discuss with other commercial pool operators. (However, they only tend to log in when THEY have an urgent problem.)
Briefly, with respect to your current situation:
1. If you caused a calcium cloud via adding cal chloride + bicarb, it would have been immediately visible.
2. Algae cleanup takes days, with sand filters.
3. "Polymer solutions" have unpredictable effects and can make things worse.
Good luck with your Memorial Day weekend.
