my pool looks like a swamp

[Watermom]

What is the source of your fill water --- a well or city water?

What kind of kit did you use? Test strips don't count.

Exactly what all have you added to the pool -- meaning ingredients and not just 'chlorine' or 'shock.'

What kind of pool is it and what is the volume?

What size is the pump and what kind and size is the filter?

Repost with requested info and somebody here will try and help.
