Negligence. failure to clean the dirty filter - failure to maintain chlorine, pH levels - failure to run the pump and filter long enough.

Any one or all of the above listed items. Clean the filter. Run the pump 24/7 until water clears. Add chlorine - a minimum of one to four gallons - for plaster - depending on pool size and type. You may need to add Yellow Treat or Yellow Out for severe algae growth. FOLLOW THE LABEL INSTRUCTIONS!!!!!

I have a large pecan tree over my pool. In the fall when the sap starts to fall out of the tree my pool turns green. What do I do to prevent this every fall?

Cut down the Pecan Tree. The tree is in not on my property I have run across this problem with Eucalyptus Trees, as they have a high phosphate content in their leaves and sap, being algae eats phosphates .... a green pool in less than a day. I recommend that the next time your pool turns green. Take a water sample ( 16 0z water bottle is perfect) to your local pool store, Leslie's is our local branch name; and have them analyze what agent in the sap is causing the algae to be hospitable. They may also recommend a product they sell to remedy the problem. Hope it works out for you.
