There are a wide variety of algaecides (algae killers) available. Your local home improvement store, or pool store, has them. Most pools can be treated for about $20.
You will want to use an algaecide, and "shock" the pool which briefly brings the chlorine level up to an insane amount, and then use a clarifier which will cause all the dead algae to clump up and sink to the bottom, where it can easily be vacuumed out.
All of these chemicals evaporate in a day or two, leaving the pool ready for swimming.

∙ 16y agoSuperchlorinate manually and brush frequently and back wash the filter as needed. If you have a cartridge filter - remove and clean to start with then clean again after the all algae is gone. You can also set the salt system to superchlorinate. You must brush the walls and floor often to let the chlorine get to the algae on the pool wall surface. Don't maintain a steady level of chlorine residual as algae will become accustomed to those levels and still breed. Check your salt levels also.
