Something has gone wrong

[PoolDoc]

All 4 of your entries were in the data table -- I deleted 3 of them. It's possible Janet was looking at a slightly out of date back up copy of the Pool Chart data.

In any case, the information is now in your signature.

I let the pool settle, vacuumed bottom with pump not putting water back into pool, add 6 cups of bleach, pool is still green but much lighter and cloudy.

Should I have the water tested at a pool supply?

[PoolDoc]

If you have green, you need to increase your every evening bleach dose to 1/2 gallon of PLAIN 6% bleach -- that's about 15 ppm on your pool

AND . . . you need to retest your pool BEFORE you add the bleach, but be SURE to test and report the CYA level. That's critical. If you want to understand why, read the Best Guess page linked in my blue signature block.

Pool is finally not green but cloudy.

Had water tested...

Total Chlorine 8.2
Free Chlorine 7.6
PH 7.6
Total Alkalinity 90
Calcium Hardness 145
CYA 151

I should add more bleach?.. We added 10% volume of water after these test's..

Are those results from your HTH kit or from a pool store? If your CYA truly is that high, your shock level will be 25ppm. (See the Best Guess Chlorine Chart in Ben's signature above for info about the correlation between CYA and chlorine levels.)

That was from the the pool store..

We have been adding over a quart of bleach per night
