I am an above ground pool owner and I have had a lot of different dilemmas with my pool in the last several years of trial and error. It is an 18 ft round. My current problem has been a pretty bad case of algae. I feel that I constantly clean and sanitize my pool and I cannot figure out how I got this algae. Although, bright green is a nice color, I would prefer to never see it again in my water. So, I begin another day of battle, hopefully, I will be the victor.

Welcome to TFP! You need to follow the SLAM Process to eliminate the algae and then maintain the proper FC level for your CYA level according to the FC/CYA Levels.
Take a look at ABCs of Pool Water Chemistry to start learning about the chemistry.
These may help too
Luckily I found tfp before we built our pool. I tested our well water with the test kit before the pool was here. I had advice and a plan. Four years later I have perfect water, barely do anything to it (sans testing, thanks robot), and have saved a ton of money. I spent 200 bucks in July...on a granite counter top for my new griddle station, less than my neighbor did dumping weird stuff in his pool. I have spent zero on the pool this month not including electric.
This a science you can do and enjoy your pool instead of thinking of it as a chore. I offer no advice other than trust what gets posted in this thread.
