Do I keep adding the two gallons of bleach each evening or stop and now do what?
Probably -- but without results, I don't know for sure. If you haven't brushed the pool completely, put your 2 gallons in, and then brush it.

With respect to a filter, I think you are hoping for results that a new filter is unlikely to provide. I'm not aware of any Intex compatible filter system that's going to clear dead algae quickly. The Unicel cartridges I recommended above will help.

But, if you REALLY want a high performing filter system, that will give you crystal clear water quickly, you'd need to adapt a small standard AG pool pump plus an AG DE-type filter to your pool. Here's the type of combo I mean:
Hayward SP15922S Power-Flo Matrix Above-Ground Pump 2-Speed
Perflex DE Filter with Valve
That combo would clean your pool very, very quickly, and would be economical to run if you left it on low speed almost all the time, as you should. But, I am NOT recommending it -- adapting it to an Intex would be fairly tricky --- and that system will stop up instantly with LIVE algae in your pool.
