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???
