1. Buy 20 gallons of PLAIN 8% store brand bleach; add 10 gallons this evening.
2. While at the store, get a cheap OTO/phenol drops kit. Test the pool before adding the bleach.
3. Put the pump on circulate, instead of filter.
4. Post your pool dimensions, your pump make/model, your filter make/model, and your test results.
5. Test again in the AM, and post results.
6. Order a K2006 test kit (3/4 oz 'A' version or 2 oz 'C' version) from Amazon -- kit links page in my blue signature block.
7. Expect to add 10 gallon doses 2 - 3 more times -- but we'll know more once we have your PM and then AM OTO test results.
8. Do NOT add any other pool goop! Bleach for now; muriatic acid or borax later if we find your pH is seriously out of range. Otherwise NOTHING!
9. If you've overlooked mentioning that copper algaecides have been added . . . cut the bleach doses back to 3 gallons, and tell us EXACTLY what has been added.
Good luck!
