Day 2 still no change. Color may be a little lighter green. But green nonetheless.
CYA is still up there between 30-50. FC is way up there too. Using test strips for that, and it came out darker than the HIGH that was listed. Put in 3 gallons chlorine this morn. Swept. I have a stinky vacuum that came with the pool but cant afford another better kind, and my pool does not have the capabilty for back wash. We also have no skimmer. Cheap vinyl pool. Any more ideas out there?
Keep doing what your doing..........
1) chlorine at shock level
2)keep filter running
3) keep brushing and vacuuming
Its not going to clear up overnight, practice some patience and the 3 steps above......you'll walk out one morning staring a a crystal clear pool.........I promise!

LOL. Thanks for the help.
Another lesson learned. I do not think all chlorine is the same. LOL. AND 3 qts do not equal a gallon. Oh me. Needless to say I still have a green pool. Brushed several times today. Vacuumed once. Just put more clorox in. UGH UGH UGH![]()
Again test and keep your chlorine level high. There are SO MANY threads where I have seen people get frustrated - but it always has worked out as soon as they have the correct amount of chlorine and it is kept at the right level consistantly ..... then poof blue cloudy pool ....and then a clear blue pool.

I think my problem must be consistancy. My five way tester only goes to 5. BUT it now is way over that, almost a dark brown. The other test strips are way over 10. That is what it has been over the last three days. I am hoping for some change soon. Thanks.
