Algae, regardless of the type, first requires a TFP SLAM Process. A SLAM is an on-going process which can take several days to work as the elevated chlorine level penetrates and kills algae. For it to work, you have to review the SLAM Process page instructions and do all its tasks. Most importantly, you have to have one of the recommended test kits - either a TF-100 or Taylor K-2006C. I hope you have one of those (link below in my sig). Please review that SLAM page and let us know if you have any questions. We'll be glad to assist.
To get rid of algae, you need to follow the SLAM process. Pool School - SLAM - Shock Level And Maintain
You also need to be able to accurately test your own water to follow that process. Pool School - Test Kits Compared
Can you tell us how you got those test results?
