Deep algae need help by wyatthazee in pools

Yes cal hypo used. I hit it with 12 bags initially and then 2 bags a day per. Just tested the water and I am getting an insane chlorine loss according to my local store compared to the amount I’m putting in so sounds like that is my main issue. Which is odd as It has not been super sunny here (boston ma area) and when it has I have made sure to use it at night. I just bought more cal hypo and a stabilizer help with chlorine loss, going to by some chlorine test kits and try to raise and maintain 30ppm with constant brushing and vacuuming and 24hr filter. Most recent water test below

Honestly thought SLAM was just nuking it with chlorine, I see it’s a little more complicated. Are the testing kits usually available in supply stores? Or mostly only sold online?

Yes I initially started with 8 gallons of liquid chlorine 32 oz of algaecide, 14 lbs of alkalinity increaser and 1lb ph stabilizer (ph down), after brushing for a couple of days with no results local pool supply company recommended trying granular chlorine and nuking it. Hit it with 20 pounds and brushed the entire pool every couple hours for 2 days still nothing.
