ignore all these fools. Throw out the expensive chemicals. You don't need to drain it. Buy the $2 liquid bleach with 10% chlorine at Walmart (over buy the pool supplies). Check freshness date. Get the newest. Buy 15-20 gallons so you're prepared.

Register at troublefreepool website. Follow their directions.

TL;Dr your pool will be 100% algae free in less than 2 weeks using only liquid bleach.

Eta I'm here to help. You can fix the worst algae using the SLAM method and it will change your life. You'll throw out all the expensive pool store garbage and your pool will never be easier to maintain.

bleach is diluted chlorine. So, yeah it will work with enough of it.

Buy the cheapest chlorine. There is minimal, if any difference between that and the "SuperMax, Extra-duper shock".

Shock is just chlorine.

Put 10-15 lbs in to shock any pool.

Seems you may have enough though. Check your Chems and ph using some strips and make sure the ph isn't bad.

Also, with the amount of rain we've been getting, make sure your chlorine isn't low.

The dead algae will have to be vacuumed out.

And make sure your filter is clean. The filter is what clears the water.
