New here, slight algae problem that won't leave

[duraleigh]

Algae results from insufficient chlorine levels. You must shock your pool to the appropriate level (we need CYA results), maintain that shock level 'til your pool clears, then maintain a chlorine level sufficient to prevent algae.

Your algae issue is easily correctable but it will take more chlorine (and consistency) than you have been using and accurate test results for anyone here to recommend what that chlorine level might be.

The pool filter will clean your pool after you kill the algae but will not clear live algae from a pool.
