My 6-year old is dying to swim and I've got green water even with high FC levels

The pool is clear but light green. It is almost the color of bleach, but less yellowish and more green. I don't know of anything close to this color. It is like the shade of statue of liberty but not chaulky looking like that. It is a little brighter green than that.

The bucket test pool water looked a little less green ( maybe a little more brown) and a little more hazy or cloudy, both initially and after adding the bleach and borax. I am assuming if I can't clear it up in the bucket then draining and a refill is the only option.

That bothers me more than anything b/c we are thinking of installing an IG and I won't be able to drain an IG if it were to happen then. This will be a huge confidence reducer if I have to drain.

I never knew how hard it is to describe shades of green.
