Green cloudy water test strip says high alkaline what do I do?

your mistake was buying an intex pool those things are garbage

you have two problems, your water is cloudy because your pH is high...you need to add acid or a product with a name like pH Down or pH Minus

Your water is green because algae has formed and the walmart chlorine you are buying is garbage (and full of chalk which can also make your pool cloudy) and the filter is under powered and cannot clean it

You will have to treat your pool with Algaecide and then shock it with good quality chemicals

and then clean your filter daily

when you bought that piece of junk pool all you bought was a headache

you should buy quality stuff (the voice of been there and done that)

get rid of alkaline

You would need to acidify the water.
