Another newcomer as well with a cloudy intex pool.

[Nicki]

I am posting this because I see plenty of issues with cloudy pools, but my issue is that mine completed filling today. I wish I discovered this site before I filled, after seeing the sticky.

So my 18' x 48" Intex pool was filling for approximately 24 hours. It seemed very clear at first but then as it completed, it seemed really cloudy. Im a complete noob at this, but it just does not seem my hose water should be pumping out cloudy water? I live in Dallas, Texas and get my water from a public water supply. I have had the filter running over 6 hours without any improvement. I have not bought any test kits or chemicals because like I said, this water has been there for less than 24 hours and of course I hadn't known about the pre-fill shopping list >< Also, its not too cloudy where you can't see the bottom. (pic below)

So what does one do AFTER the pool is filled for less than a day in a brand new pool?

I'm sorry if I hadn't searched hard enough, just didn't seem to find any with cloudy water so soon.

Thanks for any ideas, enclosing a picture in case it helps
