Ozone Generators like the CircuPool INDIGO 3 Series of Ozone Generators are powerful oxidizers for pool water which are effective only during the time that they are operating and leave no residual protection which makes them suitable for use in conjunction with chlorine, albeit with less chlorine required because of the ozone generation.
With regard to algae, preventing and eliminating (killing) algae are two different things with the same result: an algae-free pool. Prevention requires either an Algaestat which disrupts the growth of algae or elimination of the nutrients that feed algae which is best accomplished by purging your pool of phosphates. Note that uncontrolled algal growth can occur demanding far greater amounts of chlorine and/or ozone than under other circumstances.
Ozone can be a great help in controlling algae, but prevention through an Algaestat or Removing Phosphates will keep you from reacting to the increased oxidation demand as you detect little to no (residual) Free Chlorine and experience the dreaded green pool.
