I suggest you contact the manufacturer of the algaecide and find out from them what would be the bes coarse of action.

What should you do if you accidentally put two and a half times more algaecide than the recommended dose in your pool and is it too toxic to go in it?
Vaccum the algaecide and its treated remainder to WASTE. Keep testing until it is ok. It should be fine. You may also call the company who makes the algaecide to get their suggestions. When I had a problem with my pool about three weeks ago, the pool company put a LOT of algaecide in the pool and then I vaccumed it to waste. Now I put just the minimum in each week to prevent algae from growing.
How soon after you put algaecide in the pool can you get in it?
You want to have the equipment running while adding any chemicals. You will want to wait about an hour after adding algaecide.
How much algaecide do you put in a 24 foot round pool when closing for the winter?
Assuming that your pool is 24 Round 52" Walls, Roughly 14,435 Gallons. Amount to be used will vary depending on the algaecide used. We normally recommend refering to the label of the algaecide you are using. We use Blue Wave Halt50 Algaecide with our winter closing chemical packages which recommends using 5oz per 10,000 gallons for booster dose.

How do you put in algaecide?
follow the instructions on the bottle or just mix it with water in a bucked and cast it evenly around the pool
If you put algaecide directly into swimming pool without mixing in a bucket of water first will it eat the paint away?
You don't have to mix the algaecide in a bucket of water, you can put it directly in the pool. I use Polyquat 60 that comes in quart bottles and add about 4-6 ounces per week. Just walk along the edge of the pool and pour it at the edge while walking. No algaecide will "eat the paint". It's not acid. In fact, all the algaecide does is strip the cell walls of the algae and make it more susceptible to the chlorine. It's the chlorine that kills the algae. However, one algaecide with a side effect of staining is Copper. It's a very effective algaecide, and it's safe - but it will stain concrete pools if it's used in a high enough concentration. And Copper can stain blonde hair as well. That's why I don't recommend using it. The preferred algaecide is Polyquat 60.
What are the white suds on the pool water?
Without seeing your water, I am going to guess that the liquid algaecide you are using is a quat (quatenary ammonium). It is an effective algaecide but it can cause the water to get a little "sudsy" or "foamy". You may have had just a bit too much in there. A way the old service company guys would check your algaecide level was to put their hand in the pool and shake it around. If it foamed some, then you had enough. Usually a good shock will clear that up.
Why is your pool getting yellow around it?
Beacause chlorine is not being put in which is making it turn yellow :)
What do you do if you just filled a above ground pool and it turns green right away so i shocked it twice then put algaecide and chlorine tabs and still is the chorine is off the charts?
The green is algae, add chlorine to make it go away.
How long do you have to wait to put goldfish in tank after you put algaecide in?
a week because the fish can die if you don't leave it long enough
Your pool water is very milky shocking makes it more milky levels are good?
Try hitting it with a clarifier, your pool shop will have it in stock. First hit it with an algaecide then cast a clarifier over the surface of the pool and let it rest without the pump going for at least a full 24 hours. At that time you will notice that the pool water is clear except a layer at the bottom, carefully vacuum this layer out to waste, do not put it through the filter
The Pool is milky white how do I fix it?
First of all try hiting it with an algaecide If you are luck that may settle it down if that doesn't do the job hit it with a clarifier, your pool shop will have it in stock. cast a clarifier over the surface of the pool and let it rest without the pump going for at least a full 24 hours. At that time you will notice that the pool water is clear except a layer at the bottom, carefully vacuum this layer out to waste, do not put it through the filter
