Green pool water is caused by algae growth. When chlorine levels drop below 1-parts-per-million, algae will begin to grow. To get rid of the algae, turn on the pump so chemicals will circulate through the water. Correct the pH level of the water by adding an acid or a base to bring the pH level to a 7 or 8. Clean any debris out of the pool. With a nylon brush scrub the pool, breaking up the algae. Add shock to the pool, and continue running the pump throughout the cleaning process. The water will be cloudy when the shock is first added, but will soon begin to clear. Once the water is clear, vacuum the algae from the pool.

You have to be careful about emptying any in-ground pool. Normally they have a hydrostatic valve in the deepest part of the pool in case there is ground water built up around the outside of the pool. If there is the valve will allow ground water into the pool. if there isn't there is a good chance that the pool will start to float in the ground water. In effect the only thing you have to worry about is that there is no water under the pool if there is you will need to find a way of getting rid of it before emptying the pool.
