With the stuff Watermom told you to get, we can probably guide you to be able to clean up your pool so so you can get some swimming time now in August and early September. Otherwise, if it's not clean by mid-Sept, depending on the kind of Intex, draining may be an option (If it's an Intex EasySet donut pool, draining, deflating and storing somewhere warm and dry is the best thing for winter here in NJ. Frame pools are another story)
