Thank you so very much, I am so frustrated. I tested the chlorine an it is over 5 on my test kit, and my chlorinator is wide open.

The dumb pool guy tested it for phosphates and he said it wasn't that high? He feels it is the fertilizers the neighbors are using OMG He wants to put a chemical in the pool that will "catch" all the algae but it has to be turned off for 2 days, then a vac to clear the pool. I fear the test kits will take a couple days, but I am going to order them now so I have them.

Is there anything I can do immediately so we can swim? Or begin to clean this mess up?

I forgot to tell you what I have added. 6 bags of Leslie Pool Power Powder Plus Shock, and 5 lbs of Soda Ash?
