Change the water

The water turns green cause there is algae growing in it

As crazy as it sounds, bleach (which is what chlorine is). We have a very large inflatable pool which we fill once a year and my dh adds bleach to it to stop it turning green, I have no idea how much you add and would not advise you doing this without further advce. We were told to do this by a pool company.
