Get your water balanced ( total alkalinity 80-120, Ph 7.2-7.6 ) and pump up you chlorine residual by shocking and cranking up your chlorinator. If after vac'cing, you have algae patches clinging to the sides or bottom of the pool, give these a brush. That will expose the algae to your chlorine better as well as getting it up into the water column for your filter to remove some of it. Backwash if a sand filter or clean out the cartridge. All that algae will eventually wind up in there. If your circ pump runs on a timer, remove the "off" lug to allow the filter pump to run 24 hours a day until the algae is no longer a problem.

Lots of pool owners are having this same "fun". The excessive heat is gassing chlorine out of the water as fast as you can add it. Double up on your tabs and shock more frequently. About all you can do until the water cools a bit.

having same problem, get your pool water tested at your local pool store; keep your pool brushed daily and vacuumed, especially after rainstorms. Hope this helps!

Shock the water by making a drastic change in PH. Lower the PH and then raise it. The rapid change in PH will kill the algae.

Add that powdered shock to the water. It will clear it up quickly.
