If you added Calcium Chloride shock, your pH may have drifted too high, which rendered the chlorine useless. Chlorine will only work if your pH is around 7.0 to 7.4. Check your pH with an OTO tester and make sure that it is 7.2. Carefully add some Muriatc Acid if your pH is too high. Test it again the following day as it takes time to mix thoroughly. Hatawa

Do you need to turn off your automatic salt chlorinator when adding shock to a salt water pool?
By Shock I guess you mean a packet of Chrlorine marketed as "Shock or "Shock Treatment" which is esentially just chlorine packaged at a higfher price. Any ususal powdered or liquied chlorine will do the same job except those that are Di chlor or tri chlor. No need to turn of the salt chlorinator at all.

Abobe ground pool water is green?
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.
