Fine one day green the next, the ph is way off I added shock and 24hrs later its still green..do I need to add shock again the ph is still completely off its bright pink when normal is light orange. I did however find out the rain is what caused the imblance of the water.
Salt chlorine generators cause your pH to raise over time. You will need to add acid as needed to keep it within the ideal range. When adding acid, shoot for the low end (about 7.2) so you have room for the pH to creep up again before needing more acid.
As for green water, what is your chlorine reading, if any? Probably need to shock it not only again but an even bigger dose than the first. Shock treatments are not cumulative. If the first doesn't do the job, adding just a little more will not either.
