Trying to get water chemistry right. Previous pH problem fixed. Tested a few days ago and had a high CYA. It was over 100, diluted by half & got about 140. Cl was very dark yellow. Figured out the problem (dh & I both trying to fix the problem at the same time), now a high CYA (added stabilizer). Started getting piles of loose green dirt in the crevices of the liner, vacuumed bottom of pool right out to the yard and refilled and added a gallon of 6% bleach. Water was crystal clear the next morning. Piles of green dirt returned, repeat same. (Wasn't home much for 2 days, just wanted to keep it from getting worse). Yesterday drained 1/4 of the water, refilled, added 4 bottles of 8.25% bleach to shock this morning (used the pool calculator for amounts).

CL was bright orange. The test kit is out of CYA regeant and not able to afford the Taylor kit for another week or so.

1. Should I take a sample of water to the pool store to test for CYA and chlorine?

2. Can the pool be swimmable with a high cya for the rest of the season? (Maybe about 4 weeks left.)

3. What level should the chlorine be at to be safe to swim?
