Swimming Pool Chemicals Bromine

What is the best way to super chlorinate my swimming pool.?

The pool has mustard algae. I have shocked it and added bromine to no avail. I have added cynuric acid to bring the ph within range. The stability is ok and the alkalinity is ok. The combined chlorine is ok but the active chlorine is low. I still have mustard algae, really bad, maybe worse than before I started adding chemicals, any suggestions?

Take a sample to a pool store & get it tested.
We recommend using YELLOW OUT with
calcium hypocholrite (HTH).
The label on the YELLOW OUT gives directions.
If you follow the label, it will clear right up for you.
Do not let them sell you YELLOW TREAT, it will not
work like the YELLOW OUT.

why does a swimming pool turn brownish green after a torrential rain storm? How do you fix it?

Recently there was a large amount of rain with some hail. The backyard flooded as the pool overflowed. Dirt washed into the pool. However, after a week of vacuuming and running the filter, the water remains greenish brown. The chemical balance tests normal. Any thoughts?

Clean the filter, may need to do this more than one time.
Use a product called YELLOW OUT (not yellow treat),
used per label with calcium hypochorite (shock)
will solve problem.
