You, though, need to keep at it, hammering it with chlorine and daily backwashing, brushing, and vacuuming to waste.
Since you are already up to your ears in it, I suggest you spend the $50-$75 on a FAS-DPD chlorine test kit. There are numerous references on PF for where to find the Taylor K-2006 kit inexpensively or you can go to the Leslies on-line web site and get their clone: The FAS-DPD Service Test Kit. It's the same as the Taylor but it's in a Leslies box.
FAS-DPD will give you a sounder reading on your FC and CC (you'll calculate TC = FC + CC).
It will be far cheaper than 180 yards of fill!
Remember: The most important ingredient you need is P.O.P.P.--Pool Owner Patience and Persistence!
