We have had the same problems. We have 24,000 gal. pool. We dumped three gal of clorox in and one gal. of algecide on the first day. The next day we...

Thanks for your quick reply. Over night our pool actually took a turn toward blue (slight green tinge here & there), but is still too cloudy to...

Okay, first you HAVE to keep your pool at shock level to get it to clear. With the amount of shock you are using and FC is still reading 0 this...

Are you using bacquicil to sanitize or is it a chlorine pool? Certain algaecides have been known to cause foaming if too much is added as well.

Did you happen to add an algaecide to your pool? If so, what type? Some algaecides sold at places like Walmart etc can cause foaming when too much is...

First you need to get a better test kit than strips. I suggest the Taylor K 2006. It is very accurate and very reliable. You need to get some CYA...

If the water is cloudy then you need the chlorine levels to be high. They need to be at shock level until the water clears up. Once the water clears...

Do you know your level of CYA (stabilizer) in the pool?

Without knowing pool size and the chemical balance of your pool I can't give you numbers...

Have the water fully tested by using a good test kit or by bringing a sample into a pool store.

Algae is killed by keeping a high chlorine level,...

First thing I would do is bring a sample of your well water into a pool store to be tested. Keep those numbers so you know what type of water you are...

Since there is iron or copper in your pool you need to keep your pH 7.2-7.4 and use a metal sequestering agent (which is probably what the jacks or...

I am not surprised all the chlorine was used up. Almost instantly the chlorine in the shock and bleach you added is killing organics, plus, rain...

Are you using chlorine tabs to sanitize? If so, that would be the reason for the pH going down.

You need to vacuum your pool thoroughly (preferably to "waste"). Do you have a multiport valve with your DE filter or a simple push/pull...

The number one reason for a cloudy pool is algae growth and if you don't kill it with shock levels of chlorine then it will continue to grow and turn...

I would add the two but i really need to have an accurate reading. To aerate you just need to create bubbles. If you have any water features such as...

First of all, as you can tell from the varying readings from your pool stores, you cannot trust their pool water testing. You need to get your own...
