new pool owner with green pool

You need to follow the SLAM Process. To do that, you need a proper test kit. I suggest the TF-100/Pro or Taylor K2006C. A proper test kit is needed to get the accurate water chemistry results needed to follow the TFP protocols.

While you are waiting on your test kit, add 5 ppm FC worth of liquid chlorine / plain bleach to your pool each evening with the pump running. This will replenish the FC lost each day to the sun and also inhibit any algae in the water from growing further.

Welcome! :wave: I would also ask a couple things. First, post a couple pics of your water. Second, update your signature. That is very important for us to reply accurately. See our signatures as example. If you're on a portable device, you may need to flip it sideways to see them at the bottom of each post. If you are on a well, list that in your signature too.
