Shock treatment for the green part. If it is still cloudy you can add a clarifier sold at your local pool supply.

To add calcium chloride to a vinyl pool, first determine the amount needed based on your pool size and current calcium levels. Dissolve the calcium chloride in a bucket of water before slowly pouring it around the perimeter of the pool while the pump is running to ensure proper distribution. Monitor the calcium levels regularly to avoid over-dosing.

To get rid of chemical smells in a swimming pool, you can first check the pH and chlorine levels to ensure they are balanced. Increasing the pool's water circulation and adding activated carbon or a pool deodorizer can help absorb and eliminate the chemical odors. Regular pool maintenance and proper water treatment will also prevent future chemical smells in the pool.
Adding algae control to the pool skimmer helps to disperse the chemical and coats the filter media.
No, it is recommended to first add pH up to adjust the pH levels in the pool. After waiting for the pH level to stabilize, you can then add pool shock to sanitize the pool. Mixing the two chemicals directly together could lead to a dangerous chemical reaction.
This will depend upon whether you have a plaster finish or not. First test the water to determine if you, in fact, need to add acid. If the test indicates that you need acid start with small quantities. Maybe one to two cups of acid. You don't have a lot of water to deal with here and so you could bring the water to acidic conditions easily. Wait about 20 min. for the circulation to distribute and test again. If the demand for acid is still there then you did not add enough acid and will need to add more. Continue this until you reach the goal of about 7.6. Test again the next day to see if the pH has stabilized. If so, then that total amount of acid that you added was what the pool demanded at that time. Each time most likely will be different. A vinyl lined pool can usually have a lesser demand for acid. Ken

If it's too high, your water might get cloudy, or you might get scale at the pool's water line or inside the pool heater. If it's too low, it can cause the surface of a concrete pool to erode. If it's too low in a vinyl or fiberglass pool, it will have no effect, so don't worry about it. Pool dealers will still sell you calcium to add to vinyl pools, because they like selling stuff, and have been told by the chemical companies that you need to have it. They don't know why, though.
