I opened my pool about a month ago and have been in the SLAM process for about 2 weeks at this point. There was a large amount of leaves that had accumulated at the bottom of the pool but I have netted almost all of them now. The water went from dark green, very cloudy and could not see the bottom at the beginning of SLAM to a medium-light green, cloudy, but can see the bottom for the most part. While it was progressing early on, I feel like I've hit a wall where I can't get the water to go from green to blue. The filter seems to operating at its regular PSI level and I backwash once it's about 25% higher than the normal reading.
After some initial tests after opening, I added baking soda to increase alkalinity to 50 and since then have been adding liquid chlorine every day to keep my chlorine at or above the SLAM level. Should I just continue to execute the process and keep at it or am I missing something?
FC - 20
CC - I did not test but since the water is cloudy I figure it is not 0
TA - 50
pH - 7.2
CYA - 40
