My main pump is broken - I ordered a new one, but it won’t be here for three more days. Meanwhile, the water is getting green.. I don’t know if there’s anything I can do. It’s a salt pool. Any ideas?
Can I shock my pool if pump is broken?

Yes, you can shock the pool while the pump is down. Liquid chlorine will be easiest. Pour the liquid chlorine into the pool and move the water around with the pool pole. Do this every 24 to 48 hours and the pool should be ok.
