I opened my pool last week and used liquid shock... started getting blue but the turned green again over night... shocked it hard again....Now I have super high chlorine levels and still green water..(I can clearly see to the bottom) I have low pH and alkaline as well as cyuratic levels... will adding the cyuratic powder finally get the water turning blue? Never had this problem before!!!

Welcome to TFP! 
When we receive questions like yours, we always start with a full set of water test results. Can you post them? Also tell us if you are on a well.

Okay. If you didn't know, test strips are horrible. Not sure why they even sell them. You need a reliable test kit at home. We recommend either the TF-100 or Taylor K-2006C. Either one, but you need it to be sure of those levels. From there, we can help you.
For now, add about 5ppm worth of liquid chlorine to the pool each day. Use the PoolMath app to help you with amounts. It's a great tool.

I have a link in my signature for the TF-100 if you need it. Great value. Either way, you'll be glad you got one of those kits. It's a game changer.
