    Unfortunately, the "cloudy" is likely to be with you quite awhile. It's very hard and slow to remove algae remnants from a small Intex pool, given their tiny filters.

    I'm leaving town today, but if you are interested, and have a vacuum and a hose, and want to fool with it, you can ask someone to tell you how to settle it out, and then vacuum to waste with a siphon.

    But, as long as your chlorine is OK -- ALL the time -- you can swim. You just have to be careful you don't lose track of someone UNDER the cloudy water.

    Ben...THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!!!
    Should I put a 3" chlorine tablets back in the skimmer or keep using the bleach/muratic acid?
    I have only been using 1 chlorine tablet at a time. Should I use more than one at a time in the skimmer?
