Hi Carl
Hope you are well.
Since my last reading, I have done the following
1) I have added 20 litres of 14% sodium hypochlorite over a period of 2 - 3 days e.g. 10 litres first night, 5 the second and 5 the third. (I figure that this should have kept my FC levels well over the 20 mark for a couple of days).
2) There was no real change in the colour of the water after this period, it still looked green.
So i then went to the supermarket and bought some bleach and I added 26 litres of 1.5% bleach.
Soon after this, the water started to become lighter in colour... and I left the water alone for a couple of days.
Today, the water looked pretty good (not clear though) so we took a swim, and then I re-took some readings.
28th Sept. I also backwashed this morning.
FC = 13.2
PH = 7.6
CYA = 76
TA = 230
Below is a link to a photo of the pool. As you can see the green Algae seems to have gone, but the water is still not quite right. Certainly not clear. Any suggestions??

Do I shock again? I have 2 X 5litres of 14-15% bleach ready to go.... thought I would check with yourself.
We are having some awesome weather for late September in London. Normally it is time to get the big coats out, but we have had blue skies recently.
Many thanks
