Aqua green pool

With a high CYA, you are going to have to run higher chlorine levels than the HTH 6-Way kit can measure since it only goes up to 5ppm. You'll need to order a Taylor K2006 or 2006C kit. (Test kit link in Ben's signature above.)

I am ording a test kit as we speak. Thanks for the advice!!

CL very orange almost brown( I did try a 25 part test and it was about 75 ppm)
Ph 7.8

Water is blue but still cloudy

This is 12 hours after second 8 gallon dose.

Don't add any more chlorine. Let it drop.

Don't add any clarifier, till it's below 20 ppm.

What is your stabilizer level?

[bjlind]

What would I want to add as an clarifier?

My stabilizer level is cya 110 ppm( I hope that is what you are asking)

Chlorine is still very dark orange oto
pH is 7.2

[PoolDoc]

OK, so you've got two readings of CYA = ~110?

But, your pool is clearing up? OTO orange is usually 15 - 35 ppm, so that's appropriate. With CYA > 100 ppm, it's not only safe, it would be comfortable for swimming.

The HTH 6 way only did two CYA test. I tested the CYA when I got the test kit before I started to add bleach. I did test again before I added the first 8 gals account you but that in red in your instructions. The first was 120 and the second 4 days ago was 110.(new test kit shipped today) The pool is getting very clear. I just jumped in and the chlorine was a little hard on the eyes but not bad. Thanks for all the help again!! How would you sudjest I maintain the pool going forward?
