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

Again, I appreciate all of the help I am receiving.

1. I guess I need to wait on input from Pool Doc on whether to use or not use the Trichlor that I already have since he said specifically not to use it. I have never seen anything related to pools in any lowes or home depot around here, but I am going to check tomorrow. Pooldoc didn't mention buying it at a poolstore so I am assuming they don't usually carry it. I have 2 that are within about 30 minutes that I may call. I just hate to wait for shipping from Amazon if the stabilizer will help. It sounds as if I can add the cyanuric acid and at least be trying to raise it some while waiting.

2. The cartridge caught a good bit last night, but next to nothing during the day today. I may have mentioned we had a pretty bad storm last night so it could have been partly from stuff being clown into the pool. Fingers are still crossed though. I don't guess a refill is totally out, but my well is not a really high yielding well so I would rather not. I was scared I was going to run it dry last time I filled it.

3. I understand that it has always been in there. I meant more along the lines of why did it just all of a sudden turn my water green.

4. I will get this process started tonight. The sock method is how I have always tried raising the CYA in previous years.

5. Understood! I know he definitely knows his stuff.
