    Honestly, if you can drain and fill, that would be the fastest way to clear it up. If not, we can work with you to try and get it clear but it is really hard to clean up those little Intex pools because they don't have very good filtration. Little pools are not forgiving. Easier to keep them maintained than clean them up if you have a problem.

    If you do decide to drain and refill, we can help you get it started out right this time.

    Up to you. Let us know what you want to do.

    One question though -----Your fill water isn't a metal-contaminated well, is it?

    Not well water. Thanks for the advice. I ordered a drain adapter, so will most likely drain and start over. Will let you know once that is done, for advice on starting fresh. What is the best thing to use to clean the liner once it is drained?

    Go ahead and read the Super Simple Startup Recipe so you can start getting together the things you will need :> http://pool9.net/ssr/
    That would be the easiest way to begin since it will be a fresh fill.
