Need to know chlorine levels in relation to cya. You may have too much cya nullifying your chlorine.
This could be it. Used a test strip (normally use the chemicals but mine doesn't have a cya tester) and it comes out to about 100. Ironically, the test strip kit says 30-100 is ideal, but most places online say that's too high. I may need to dilute the water.

CYA of 100 is really high. I would waste a good bit of water, refill, bring chlorine up to slam level and spend next few days balancing the chemicals.
Definitely don't wanna deal with a runaway algae problem.
Could also get some algaecide in order to be extra safe, but SLAM and getting CYA/TA/FC/Ph to the right levels should do it.

You need to figure that for sure. If cya is 100 you need a LOT of chlorine to make up for that. My cya is 50 and I have to keep chlorine levels about 6. Google cya/ chlorine chart or better yet look up troublefreepool.com and get your own good test kit. It’s easy to do and much better than pool store for accuracy. Strips don’t work well.
