If you are getting algae, then it is because you are letting your chlorine get too low. How often are you testing the water? Run a set of tests with your K-2006 and post them along with your volume. What are the ingredients in the shock plus?

Re: Old Pool to a New Owner
How often should I be testing the water?
Added 6 gallons of bleach Friday
Right now:
3.9 FC
0.2 CC
CYA 54
4 drops R-005 for ph 7.7
Volume 14,000
So with these results it looks like my chlorine level is ok but I need to lower my ph by adding 2qts of Muriatic Acid?
Re: Old Pool to a New Owner
Adding 6 gallons in your pool all at one time raises the chlorine level by 35ppm!
A better plan until you get a feel for your pool's behavior, is to take 5 minutes and test every evening. Also, with a CYA of 54 (how did you get that number?), your chlorine is on the low end of acceptable. (Take a look at the Best Guess Chlorine Chart in my signature below.)
What was your actual pH (before the R-005)?
