Help with a cloudy green pool.

I just got a house that comes with a 10,000 gallon above ground pool. It’s my FIRST TIME owning a pool. Recently, My Chlorine feeder ran out of Chlorine tablets and I think that’s what started the algae bloom. I added 2 bags of shock and 2 tablets of chlorine. Chlorinator is set to 1/2 feeder. Water Jets pointed downwards in pool. It’s been about 2 days and the pool is still cloudy green. I brushed the walls and floor and steps. I have a water clarifier but haven’t used it yet. What am I doing wrong? I’ll add pictures

Rainbird: Can I delay watering between each zones so I can recover some water in my tank on the app instead of going to the Rainbird controller?

I’m having a bit of a water shortage. I have 6 zones and I’m running low on water from my tank.

Right now, I’m watering every morning for 10 minutes on each zone. But I’d love to delay watering for another 10 minutes before the next zone starts.

I’ve tried searching for this option on the app and the Rainbird controller, but I can’t seem to find it.

On the controller, I tried the option where you turn the controller off and press and hold the ◀️&▶️ for delay watering and enter 10 minutes. But that seems to only work for the next watering schedule, not every time it waters.

Is there any way to delay watering after each zone is complete?

Anyone’s help would be appreciated! Thank you!!!
