Ok i shocked my pool last night with zappit 73 and the water is still the same today. I was reading on a post where the pool doc helped you get through your swampy water. I read he said make sure the filter is on recirculate and ours is not its on filter. So I think we have a big mess on our hands now!!! I got some test strips from walmart(hth 6-way test strips) but I also have a 5 way test kit(poolmaster premier deluxe 5-way test kit). I tested my pool again this evening with the strips and my kit
Results from strips
TH:400
FC:5/10
PH:7.5
TA:120
CYA:100
RESULTS WITH TEST KIT
CHLORINE:2.0
PH:7.6
TA:80
Probably 5 days ago we added a gallon of bleach bc I read that some where. Thank you for responding I am in desperate need!!! I hope things aren't too bad with my pump which by the way is a Hayward Pro Series High Rate Sand Filter. I believe we have mustard algae bc its a yellow color dust that is on the sides of the pool and can be brushed off easily. Here are 3 pictures
