My 6-year old is dying to swim and I've got green water even with high FC levels

I haven't added stabilizer at all this year. In the past 3 seasons, I never got the CYA to register on the test so it has to be less than 30 ppm. I also seem to remember reading that algae "eats" stabilizer. Based on these 2 things, I have been assuming the CYA is close to zero. I was trying to get the algae under control before adding any stabilizer. Stabilizer allows the chlorine to last longer, but doesn't it slow down the chlorine's effectiveness on algae? I will wait to hear back from you before adding the stabilizer so as not to slow down this process even further.

I do have the SWCG. I will disconnect the copper ionizer before hooking it back up. It is not hooked up at all right now. I am running the pump 24/7.

I can not find anywhere in my pool that is slimy. I know this is one of the telltale signs of algae so I go around rubbing my hands over everything. Everything squeaks when you rub your fingers over it, if that makes sense.

I decided to test my CYA this morning just to make sure. It is definitely below 30. I can clearly see the dot on the bottom when the tube is full. The solution is not even cloudy at all.
