    Ok- so I went to a pool store today and he told me to try iron out-within 4 hours she cleared up 50%! I was told to keep the chlorine up and let the iron out work for three days and then I should be all good. Sound right?

    I'm betting you have a cartidge filter with that Intex pool. This does not have a backwash setting on it, but you should clean the cartidge - turn off the filter, release the pressure and remove the filter to spray it off. If you have metal or algae, it should be removed from the filter so it can work more efficiently. Some of those older Intex pools do not even have a skimmer, does yours? Keep that pump going though or all that suspended matter will stay or settle in the pool, you want the sequestering agent (Metal Out) to collect it and remove it to the filter, where you can rinse it away with the hose.
    Beats driving to the lake!
