Morning all, Still have a problem with the pool. I couldn't find my original post but I have a 24' round intex pool. It started as a swamp when I opened it a few weeks ago. So far I added 4 lbs of cya, been shocking the pool daily with 364 oz of bleach( after I corrected the dose) for a 13k gallon pool,Added 4 lbs of borax.

The basic readings are chlorine way up and holding "orange". I have the hth 6 way test. Ph has been in the 7.4- 7.6 range or higher after I added the borax. I finally got the unicel filters this past week and skimmer socks that I change out daily. I brush every day and vacuum when its not raining. I swear NJ is the new Seattle.

Ben suggested a dose of clarifier so I added that last week. The filters and socks are full in the morning. The chlorine has been staying in the orange 10 + range all week so doesn't seem like I'm loosing chlorine so I slowed down the addition of bleach as per the readings and adjust accordingly. Pool is cloudy light green. Running the filter 2/7. I did put hth algae 3x in a few times as well as the clarifier prior to joining this forum New suggestions???

If it's cloudy gree, then you need to keep the chlorine high until it turns blue. If your filter and socks are full of stuff daily, then it's removing everything that it can, you may just be to be patient. The pool didn't get that way overnight, and it's going to take some time and a LOT of POPP (pool owner patience and persistence) to clear it. Hang in there!!\
