Your pH is up but pool is still green?
Ph is up doesn't correlate with a clean pool. The pH needs to be lower to get it clean. And then you need chlorine, probably lots of it to get it clean; try 8 gallons of liquid or 20lbs of tricolor. Trichlor is good for white plaster pools. If you have a colored plaster, it would be better to use Dichlor.
