    Keep hitting it with bleach. As often as you can per day, test and add enough bleach to get it back to shock level.

    Also, you don't say what your readings are but, if your chlorine level is higher than 10, your pH test will falsely show higher pH than you actually have. So, don't test pH or add muriatic acid unless your cl is below 10ppm.
