Have had an above ground 24 ft round pool since 2017. But always only put the chlorine tabs in the floater. Never had an issue. Last year liner needed replaced and we replaced the sand in the filter. Opened it this year to it being green. Warmer winter and not closing it clear. Shocked it but read somewhere to add algaecide. So I dumped two gallons of Clorox treat algae in it. Two weeks later it’s still green and have no idea how to fix this or read my levels. Am hoping to get the knowledge to fix this and be better about keeping up with it.
 
TFP has a way to fix this - please read SLAM Process
These are the steps to do now
Purchase a proper test kit to test the pool water yourself - do not trust pool store testing
Test Kits Compared
Purchase minimum 6 gals of liquid chlorine(LC)- can purchase at Home Depot, Walmart or similar type of store.

How many gallons is your pool? We need to know that to guide you as to how much LC to add to your pool now.

We do not recommend use of algaecides or other potions that pool stores sell.

Our members are very successful in maintiaaining a clear and well sanitize pool.
