due to presence of electricity. more precisely stray voltage from a nearby source could be the light. stop putting your hand in the pool and call an electrician

Backwash first then shock. If you shock and then backwash you will be throwing away the shock you just put.
try it out and tell me
1/2 a bag OS shock
Although one bag of shock does treat usually 10,00 gallons, that is assuming a clear pool to start with. Since you had an algae infestation, more shock will be required. A simple rule of thumb is when treating problem water to double or even triple shock the pool. Simply put, there wasn't enough shock there to finish the job. Test your water for chorine. Most shocks are chlorine based. If your chlorine is low or zero, it will confirm the need for more shock.
go to your local dealer and purchase a bag of pool shock in one hour it will be clear again If your controller has a Shock or Super Chlorinate setting then put it in super chlorinate and run the filter. You should also add sone algeacide and maintain it.
1/2 a bag will cover up to 5,000 gal & is still safe for a 3800 gal pool; use 1/2 a bag about every 4 to 6 days. Shock will clear the green but may not clear the cloudiness if you wait too long, but the water should still be safe to swim in; have your water tested by your pool professional at least once a week, it's usually free.
To determine the appropriate amount of shock powder for a 15ft by 42in pool, you typically need about 1 pound of shock per 10,000 gallons of water. A pool of that size holds approximately 4,500 gallons. Therefore, you would use about 0.45 pounds (or approximately 7.2 ounces) of shock powder. Always refer to the specific product instructions for precise dosing, as concentrations can vary.

Simply put any pool can be a salt water pool, even an above ground pool.
Take a sample of the water to a pool shop and they will be able to tell you what you will need.
The amount of shock needed for a 1500-gallon pool typically ranges from 1 to 3 pounds, depending on the type of shock and the current water conditions. For a standard chlorine shock, you would generally use about 1 pound for regular maintenance, but if the water is particularly cloudy or contaminated, you might increase it to 2 or 3 pounds. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions on the product label for the best results. Additionally, test the water after shocking to ensure proper chemical balance.
Shock it with chlorine shock at the rate of 1lb per 10kgal.
