Give us more info -- type & volume of pool; most recent test results; what you've already added. That said, eliminating (and avoiding) algae requires that you:
1. Maintain an adequate chlorine level all the time. (See "Best Guess" page, linked in my blue signature block)
2. Avoid using pool store goop -- most algaecides make things WORSE, not better, in the long run.
3. Test your pool properly. You MUST have an adequate stabilizer test result, and this is NOT possible with a test strip, no matter who reads it. See the test kit info page.
4. Make sure your filter is functioning. (If you have an Intex or Summer Escapes pool, read the SS recipe -- linke below).
Good luck . . . and welcome to the forum.
