Primary course is to first kill the algae. Allot of shock. If it's green, use at least 20-25lbs initially. Brush it in and let run 24hrs. Drop PH with muriatic acid to at least a 7.2. And, stock chlorine tabs in skimmers, floaters, etc to boost stabilized chlorine levels to at least a 3ppm.
Once run 24hrs, add a floc agent. Run pump another 6-8hrs, then turn off and leave off. Dead stuff will settle in about a day. Then vacuum to waste sediment. Might take 2 or even three vacs letting settle after each attempt. Keep water level high until completed.

Phosphates above that level can contribute to algae blooms when chlorine levels fall, it rains heavily or water becomes unbalanced. Pool & Spa
