Let me know if you hear anything on this topic. I too have this problem with my 18 x 48 above ground pool. We've kept it up last 2 years but have not had this before. I keep chlorinator rablets in year round. I pump runs 80% of the time. No pool store in the area, only walmart, and I can't find cyanuric acid or stabilizer.
please email response to angela.dynamic@hotmail.com

Shock the pool. This means super chlorinating the water to kill off any bacteria and algae. If your pool is very dirty, it may need MANY gallons of liquid chlorine (shock) over a period of days before the water clears. Start off by adding 3 or 4 gallons, and if you see no results overnight, add 3 or 4 more gallons the next day. Continue this process until you notice the water changing color to either cloudy white, light green or clear. The more you add, the quicker it will clear.

and yes you can use Chlorox

Use a algaecide. Put it in the water, let it run for 24 hours, then shut it off for about 6 hours and then vaccum on waste. This may have to be done several times. Then add clarifier, let run, shut off and vaccum again. The clarifier will clump the small particles together to get them out of the pool . Good luck.
