I am constantly getting green and cloudy water in my pool. I shock and algaecide about once a month. Lately every 3-5 days I run the filter 12 hrs a day. The last two weeks I have also been adding Clear View and also vacuuming about 2-3 times a week and then backwash after vacuuming.

Chlorine will get rid of the algae.
There are tons of questions Id have to ask prior to giving a solid answer on this one. Questions regarding chemistry, pump, frequency of chemicals, etc.
My best TIP: Do not buy chlorine from big box stores. Its old and overpriced. Always get it from your local pool supply store. Also be sure to store it properly. Have you tried liquid chlorine?
Have you ever drained the pool and started fresh?
I second what kdaniels says that this is not an easy answer.
When you are buying your supplies from your local pool supply place, talk to them and get their suggestions to resolve this issue.
We have been having so much rain in my area that everyone with pools is having issues. They can keep their pools clean until the next storm and then it all starts over again. One friend said covering the pool helped, but that isn't always an option.
Post back what you learn as your info may be better than what my friends are getting around here!
Good luck!!
You have a chemical inbalance in your pool and need to test your water with a test kit. The test dit will help you determine how much more chemicals you will need to add t othe water to get rid of your algae problem. I have a small above ground pool and holds around 900 gallons of water. I do not use chemicals in the pool because it is not that hard to change the water once a week.
