Either pour your bleach slowly into the skimmer while the pump is running or slowly in front of a return jet. Either way is fine.

Do NOT add the non-chlorine shock! Return and get your money back. You do not need it. Just keep hammering it with bleach. If you keep the chlorine at shock level consistently per the Best Guess chart in my signature, your pool will clear.

Your pH is a bit low. Do you have some Borax? Add a half a box slowly to the skimmer while the pump is running, retest pH in a couple of hours, add more if needed. You want pH to between 7.2-7.8 -- probably best to be on the low end while you are trying to clear the pool.

TA is fine. CYA at 30 is ok but after this is all cleared up, you might want to bump it up to 40-50. TH is fine but you don't want it higher than 400. I don't know what "shock treatment level =1.4 means. ???

Do me a favor since this thread is getting long and it is hard to remember all your details and time-consuming to have to keep scrolling back through to remind us about your set-up. Go to "settings" and create a signature line. In it include type of pool, volume, type of filter, size of pump and what test kit you use. Thanks.
