Hi,

Over the last week and a half, I've only applied chlorine/shock, and a few days ago dry acid to bring the PH down. But all of this was after my pool was already green. Last week I added a couple bottles of shock hoping this would help clear up the pool, did nothing except shoot the PH levels and chloring levels up. Anyway, so I haven't added any chlorine or shock since late friday. The levels based on my 5-drop tester showed the PH about 7.2. The chlorine is still a littel high, but at least it's not orange. The water definitely looks better today, but still green. The water is otherwise fairly clear.
