my pool looks like a swamp

Is it hard to drain and refill?

If it's not, it would be easier to drain and refill and start over. It will be SLOW to clear it up with the Intex pump & filter.

BUT, if that's an option, do NOT run out and drain it right now. There are several things you'll need first. If you have kids, they CAN swim, as long as there is enough chlorine; just have the wear old swim suits. The iron is not harmful to people, but it's rather hard on clothes.
