    Run your filter....the chlorine will kill algae in the water, but it's the filter that will remove it. Keep the filter running, keep adequate levels of chlorine in the pool (3-6 ppm with your stabilizer level) and you should be fine. Once the filter gets all the dead algae out of the pool, you should see it clear up.

    Just to emphasize -- keep running your filter. Not sure if you have a timer (they are not as common on the East Coast, as on the West Coast) but during cleanup, from either metals or algae, your pump / filter should be on 24/7.
