This is water CHEMISTRY, so there could be multiple reasons. For starters, it could be iron or copper present in the water, unfiltered particulates, or a reaction between the high chlorine and said metals. The first step is to balance your water: get the pH, alkalinity and calcium hardness to correct levels (7.4; 100 ppm; 240 ppm, respectively) - in that order. Allow the chlorine to drop to a normal level (2.0 to 5.0 ppm). Run your filter 24/7 until it's clear (even after it's clear!). If that alone doesn't clear it, add a liquid "metal removing agent" to "chelate" the metals.

How do you maintain chlorine in clear pool with minimal green algae by skimmer boxes after trying everything?

Chlorine is less likely to dissapate when proper levels of cyanuric acid are present. If chlorine levels are within limits and algae is still present test for ortho phosphates and treat if neccessary. Brush the affected areas (and setps & walls) regularly.

What color do you get when you mix purple and green.?

When you mix the colors green and purple, you would get a brownish-purple color. I think this would happen because the green adds a bit to the purple, which sort-of makes a brownish-black color. But when you look deeper and closer towards the color, the color starts to advance to a little shadeness of purplr again, but the brownish-black color still remained. I also did this on an art pallet at art class, then I got in trouble. Joking about the last part, though!
