I would double check the stabilizer level to make sure it really is 0. If it really is 0, then either you never had any stabilizer to begin with (you would have had to add it in the forum of a powder or liquid called "balancer" or "conditioner" or "stabilizer". Either way, the active ingredient is cyanuric or isocyanuric acid.). If you never had any to begin with, then the sun is depleting your chlorine, and you need to add enough to get up to about 30 ppm. If you actually had CYA of 60 to begin with, and now truly have 0, that means the algae bloom and accompanying bacteria have broken down the CYA and now you have a mess on your hands. You really need to double check that number to help us figure out which it is. (And if you added the stabilizer, let us know that, too).

The bleach will fix the pool IF you get the chlorine level up and KEEP IT UP as we described in earlier posts. That means keeping the kids out of it, and testing and adding more bleach 2-3 times daily or even more if possible. However, if you don't get the chlorine level up and keep it up there, you're spinning your wheels. Bleach and filtering will clear it, but only if it's done properly. Don't add any more baking soda, algaecide, or anything else but plain, unscented bleach. If you truly have 0 stabilizer, then 6 gallons of 6% bleach should take your chlorine up to 15 ppm, which is the level you need to maintain. Test 2-3 times daily (or as often as you can), and add more bleach to get back up above the 15 ppm mark. 1/2 gallon of bleach will raise your chlorine by approximately 1 ppm, so you can use that as a guide to figure out how much to use each time. If you DO still have stabilizer in the water, then you need to go up to 20 ppm and hold it there.

With some persistence and patience, it will work--but you're gonna have to stay on top of it.
