Jason has disappeared and my pool is green with algae, mostly on the sun side. I put a bunch of chlorine tabs in there but I don't even own any good equipment to clean up the pool. What do I need to buy / do?

Funny I post this, I was a pool boy in high school, but that was a millennia ago.

Algaecide. Dump it in and wait for the algae to die and sink then vacuum. All better.

Is it a concrete (gunite) or plastic liner pool? Rounded or lots of sharp corners?

When you do the algaecide you will probably need to spread some liquid chlorine around the perimeter as well to activate the algaecide. Keep the pump running at least a couple hours, if not more, to distribute the chemicals in the water. Once the water clears up either vacuum the pool or, if one will work in your pool, get an automatic robot that will vacuum it for you. Once that is done if you have a paper element filter you should remove it and hose it out really well and check for tears. If you have a sand filter you should backwash it until the water coming out is clear. After that if you maintain the chlorine (most important) and PH levels it should stay clear for a while.
