    Default Can you over Chlorinate?

    I started the BBB this year and my pool has been perfect...until now. A week ago I noticed my PH level was down to 6.8 so I dumped 1.5 boxes of Borax (6 lbs)in the skimmer. The FC level was 2. Two days later I went out to the pool and it's turning green. I immediately added about 10 gallons of Bleach. This helped but the pool was still cloudy a day later. Yesterday I added 6 more gallons of bleach, still cloudy this morning. I tested, the PH was down to 7.0 so I just added a half box 2 lbs) of Borax. Here are my numbers

    FC 30
    PH 7.0
    CYA 60
    Alk 110

    What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help.
