    Default Re: Help with cloudy pool, white algae

    As W-M suggested, a dump and refill is your best option, if water's not super-expensive in your area. Intex pools can be MAINTAINED with very clear water, but their pump and filter systems are not adequate for CLEANING UP water once it's become cloudy.

    If you can't dump and refill, go to the SSR page: => http://pool9.net/ssr/ and follow the links to Unicel cartridges. They will filter much better than the Intex cartridges.

    Also, look at the battery vacs: http://pool9.net/cleaning/
    They work in Intex pools, but it's really difficult to set up a conventional hose and pole vacuum in the small intex models.
