Like everyone else said manually skim everything you can in the pool. then just SLAM the pool and it will be back in no time. mine never got green as my power was only out for 25 hours.

i do not buy into adding ANYTHING to the pool regularly except liquid chlorine and acid. I do supplement Cyanuric Acid, as i dont use tablets, and Calcium Chloride as levels warrant it.

If you are new to your pool check out Trouble Free Pools and their Pool Math app. it is the easiest process to follow to keep your pool clear. SLAMing is Shock Level and Maintain. as just shocking your pool might not kill all organics in the pool/plumbing/ filters. Bringing your pool to SLAM level and keeping it there will ensure everything is killed all while being able to still swim(if on the lower end of the SLAM).

I don't know who first suggested this to me, but it was on this board and I owe them/yall a huge thanks. I've had my pool for a year and I've been following the system from troublefreepool. I've never had the water turn any hint of green. My pool water looks better than the tap.

Thanks to Ida, my pool pump was off for almost 5 days. I scooped out the pool debris before cleaning my yard and porch. Once it was just small debris on the bottom, I added chlorine and started running the robot cleaner off the generator as much as I could with frequent cleanings. We were swimming in clean water long before the power came back on. It was an easy way to entertain the kids without power.
