opened up our pool this year and it was much greener than ever before. In fact, we couldn't see the pool bottom. I have a good testkit, initial test showed cya=0. I've been dumping a ton of bleach in the pool and it's getting better but obviously I'm backwashing 2-3 times per day.

is the idea to bite the bullet on bleach consumption and get the pool clear before adding cya so I won't have to backwash? I also have to add a whole lot of calcium and borax. So what's the right order of operations on the chems?

tia!
