Help with getting pool clean
I have a 8300 gallon above ground, vinyl liner pool with sand filter. Didn't winterize properly, and pool got away from me. (Think swamp). Due to a large hole in the liner, about 90% of the water drained out. Pool was repaired and refilled. After refilling, it was still very green. I got my CYA level back up to 60, and have been keeping pool at chlorine level of just over 20 for about a week. Pool is now a VERY cloudy pale blue. When I sweep the bottom of the pool I can see some green being stirred up.
Am I doing everything right? I would hope by now it would start to clear. But my pool is so cloudy, I can pour straight pool water in the CYA tester, and when full the black dot is about 50% covered.
Current readings
FC - 24
CC - .5 -- This was over 1 until this morning
FC - 24.5
PH - 7.4
Alkalinity - 225 -- I have been having the hardest time with this. My source water has very high alkalinity.
Calcium - 200
I forgot to add, that it is requiring about 2.5 gallons of bleach per day to keep the levels over 20.
