Your cya is a little high but it's not a problem what you should do Is get this list of chemicals
•4 gal liquid chlorine
•10 lbs of 75% shock
•1qt of yellowtrine
•1qt of phosfree
•4 oz of super blue
And if you don't have a heater or are out of options pick up a bottle of copper algecide DO NOT turn the heater on if you use copper algecide or silver algecide
If you proceed with this method you will need to follow these steps
Step 1: clear out the skimmer, pump basket, and backwash the filter
Step 2: recharge the filter if needed and set the multi port valve on recirculate
Step 3: skim all debris of the surface and the bottom as best as you can
Step 4: take the 10 lbs of shock and slowly put it in the skimmer and make sure it is on recirculate or it will destroy your grids or if you don't feel comfortable with that method you can sprinkle it along the wall of the pool and brush the remaining shock around
Step 5: add the 4 gal of liquid chlorine on the shallow end, it works best if you add it right over a return line
Step 6: ad the phosfree and yellowtrine to the skimmer wait like 4 minutes in between before adding the other chemicals
Step 7: finally add the super blue in the skimmer wait 5 minutes before turning the multi port valve back to filter
If you followed this your pool will turn a white milky color and start to clear up
