 Chlorine after use or every couple of days is what I suggest.  

 Personally I think your green tint is coming from something else.  Speaking with my tech he seems to remember it was a case of to low or to high of PH.  Its been awhile since he had to deal with it, but he remembers raising or lowering PH and the green tint went away almost instantly.  You on a well system?   Or it could be something else??

 Asparagus??

  Thats a tough one sounds like everything is where it should be.  :-/  

 The good news its nothing that should hurt you!!   Does a dose clarifier help at all, and does the cloudiness go away and the green stays?

Clarifiers can work well but often times are overused IMO. I think this is a case of sanitize properly first and then if any green tint happens I'd move to a clarifier.

 Just leave the alk alone it will most likely come down on its own.
