Dad of 3,
I have reread this thread briefly and it appears to me you have been completely overlooking the cause of your green pool.
It is because you lack chlorine. Chlorine kills algae. You have algae. However, as it's killing the algae, the chlorine itself is consumed so you must add more chlorine constantly to get your pool cleared up
You need to spend some time in Pool School and read How to Shock you Pool and the ABC's of Pool water chemistry.
You should leave Pool School with the knowledge that you need to put massive amounts of chlorine in your pool to get it cleared up and that you then must maintain chlorine in your pool constantly or your pool will turn green again.
You should also come away understanding the function of CYA......it's sole purpose is to protect the chlorine from UV rays from the sun.
