Hi,
We have had an Intex AG pool for the summer and about 3 weeks ago, we had an algae bloom. Our local Leslie pool place had us do Green-to-Clean and 3 cycles of shock and some Pool First Aid--did nothing. We then got a Game Sand Pro 50 filter and tried again with twice the dose of Green-to-Clean and shock. Our pool went from olive green to light minty green (which Leslie said was a good sign--algae's now dead). Then we found PoolSolutions and PoolForum and haven't added the Pool First Aid due to some of what we've read.

It's been 3 days since the last shock treatment and the pool is still cloudy light green. We tested the pool with a Taylor k2006 and found that most of the levels are in-range except chlorine.

FC (1.8mL sample diluted with tap water): ~3ppm x 5 = ~15ppm
TC : ~3ppm x 5 = ~15ppm
CC: ~0
pH: 7.6
TA: 120ppm
CH: 240ppm
CYA: 90ppm

So, PoolForum, what would you suggest for fixing the chlorine and clearing up the minty-green cloudy water? Are we close to having it fixed or would you recommend dumping and refilling?

Thanks!
