green water that won't go away

I agree with Carl, you must lower the ph. You don't need more sequesterant because the metals would have percipitated out of the water with the high ph and chlorine you have. High ph along with high chlorine is what will make the metals come out of suspension - bring down your ph to 7.2.

well, I have the ph down for now, it is back in the normal range, the pool is looking better, it is now a greenish blue. I will continue with the bleach.....

I have been keeping the ph down in the normal range and the cl up to 15ppm for several days now. What a vicious cycle that is. It is finally starting to clear up....very slowly........ I never thought it would take this long to get clear. Thanks for all of the advice on clearing it up, I hope its completely cleaned up soon.

We are so happy to finally be swiming in our pool. Thank you for your help. Is there anything I need to know about switching the the BBB "system" How often can I expect to be adding bleach?
Thanks!!!

Typically every day or two depending on your pool. Some people who have higher cya readings, can go a little longer between doses. I test and add a couple of quarts every evening. It takes me no more than 3-4 minutes.
