I'm going to agree with CarlD too. I have an Intex. I'm here to tell you, it takes a LONG time to filter out remnants of an algae infestation, weeks, AND, that's IF you REPLACE the filter every time it stops up (the filters from walmart, Home Depot, Lowes, etc will not stand up to being cleaned). I'll also tell you that the advice I got here was once the algae is dead and the pool is clear enough to see the bottom, it's ok to go swimming. We all hope you get to enjoy your pool for lots of years. I'll also say, we had a constant fight on our hands til we got the K2006 kit and were able to accurately test the chlorine levels. That kit has saved us BUNCHES of money in chemicals we didn't need to buy.

Good luck and ENJOY your pool!
