    Red face please help

    Okay

    14,400 gal above ground pool

    chlorine is 2
    Ph is 7.3 or 7.4
    Alk is in between 40-50
    cya is still 0

    using a 5 way drop test kit

    added about 6 oz of baking soda to raise the alk tonight

    pool has a green tint to it but I can see the bottom very good.
    some places on the liner have brown goop or ring especially the floating chlorinator.

    I have one 3 inch puck of cal hypo in the floater.

    Oh yeah, on Sunday the boys put in yellow out and Monday they put a cup of algae stop because they don't think I know what I am doing.

    filtering 24/7

    Any one have any ideas???

    thank you

    You need to raise your chlorine up to 10ppm and try and hold it there without letting it yo-yo up and down. Test 2 or 3x a day and each time, add enough plain, unscented 6% bleach to raise your cl to 10ppm. In a pool this size, each quart will raise it by 1ppm. Don't add any more stuff other than bleach for now. If you will do this consistently for a few days and keep running your pump 24/7, it will clear. After it clears, then you'll need to add some cya. We can help you with that in a few days.
