I've heard this sort of thing, a LOT, this year. I'm pretty much to the point of telling folks that, if they need to ask, they should NOT get a used pool! I'm glad you finally got yours up, though.

Also -- go feel that sand. That is, swim down to it, and touch it. I'm guessing it may be blown in dust OR dead algae. In that case, to remove it, you'd need
  • a skimmer (does your pool have one?)
  • a manual vacuum set (links below) & probably
  • an upgraded cartridge for your filter (I'll need EXACT model and make to help)
