Answering your question before some others, just because I wanted an easy one (to answer; not quite as easy to do).
#1 - Get the OTO drops kit. 6 boxes of 20 Mule Team and about 30 gallons of PLAIN 6% chlorine bleach.
#2 - Test your pH BEFORE adding chlorine; report that here. Add 2 boxes of borax for good measure, regardless of pH (slowly, in the skimmer, with pump running) Your pH is probably low, but even if not, we'll lower it later. (Borax raises pH)
#3 - Add 6 gallons of bleach tonight within 2 hours of sunset. Test 1 hour after adding.
#4 - Run your pump 24/7 till the pool is ALL cleaned up, + two more days.
#5 - Test chlorine in the AM, within 2 hours of sunRISE.
#6 - Test chlorine in the PM, within 2 hours of sunset. If OTO is not dark yellow, repeat dose.
#7 - Test chlorine in the AM, within 2 hours of sunRISE. => Report results here.
Also, when you report pH, let us know if the pool is still cloudy, and if there is any remaining algae.
