Answer:

It may be related to the paint/refill. How is the free chlorine level? If this is good, and it does not appear to be algae (not cloudy, no particulate) it could be a recurring reaction from the paint or pool surface. More likely, it is related to the refill and the chlorine demand of fresh water and surface. If your free chlorine is not sufficient due to the demand of the water, you can keep getting a recurring algae. It can take more chlorine than normal because your pool is not preconditioned with chlorine and then more is needed to make an acceptable level. Also, did you add cyanuric acid (stabilizer) which helps to protect your chlorine in high sun UV conditions (probably pretty high right now).
