You need to perform the SLAM process.

+1 on the SLAM and below are the details.
To begin, do you have your own test kit that generated those numbers? If not, you will need one.

Also if your CYA is 70, your SLAM FC target is 28. Good job on raising the chlorine higher than most do, but as you can see it is not quite high enough to kill everything.

SLAM - Shock Level and Maintain

We’ve all had to deal with a green pool. Clear algae from your pool with a SLAM! Read here to use shock level and maintain to clear your pool.

I’m already doing that for the pass week with no real results, still green.

Should I lower the CYA then? I already have the test kit as recommended from this forum.

Your FC level isn’t high enough to be in SLAM. It needs to be at 28 and raised back to 28 multiple times per day. Going less than that just makes it take longer.

You need to raise the FC level to 28 - and MAINTAIN it there.
Test and dose FC at least 3 times daily. More at the beginning of the SLAM can be helpful.

Brush the entire pool daily.
Check ladders, lights, skimmers, weir doors, autofills for algae.
