Chlorine is not particularly good at getting rid of algae once it gets established in the water so just having the chlorine levels right wont fix it. As a matter of fact the algae will reduce the effectiveness of the pools chlorine and make the water more hazardous to swim in. The best thing to do is to get some algaecide from your pool shop and while you are at it take along a sample of your pool water as you may need to make some other changes in your water balance to prevent the problem from reoccurring pool shops do these tests free of charge and its a lot easier then doing it all yourself.
