Just a bit of follow up.
1. There's no way to get a "black" (dark green) pool cleaned up in a week, without special equipment OR draining and refilling. Don't beat yourself up. Just learn, and plan to avoid in the future!
2. If you have a concrete pool AND the ground is dry OR you live on a hillside, consider draining and refilling. OTHERWISE, do not drain; you can destroy your pool!
3. If you don't drain, begin adding 3 gallons of PLAIN 6% household bleach EACH evening.
4. Purchase locally an OTO/phenol red test kit (yellow/red drops). Increase your chlorine dose by 1 gallon each evening, till you have a DARK yellow chlorine test result the FOLLOWING morning.
5. Order a K2006 kit (link below)
6. Run pump and filter 24/7.
7. Post results after a few days.
By the way, pool antifreeze does NOT foam your pool.
