    Stay on top of it and maintain the high chlorine. Don't try and test the pH when the chlorine is high or you won't get an accurate reading. Is your pressure rising on your filter? (You should be running the pump 24/7 right now.)

    We are running it 24/7 (much to my husband's chagrin).. I don't see a change in the pressure though.. should we?

    Not necessarily. Is the pool clear?

    The no chlorine lost overnight is good news. However, if the green is STILL not gone, you may want to take it up another notch. You do NOT want to get into a new detente or stalemate with your 'super-algae' at a slightly less green level. You want ABSOLUTE victory, as in, all algae dead and all green gone.

    It's still green.. but now a more pleasant blue green. I'll keep powering through with the bleach!
