    Can you dump and refill?

    I drained about a third of it and started adding new water back in this morning but can't say how much it helped. Hate to dump with the drought right now, but I can if there's no other solution. Sad face.

    There are other solutions, but, if you are unwilling to buy the $20 test kit much less the $60 test kit, draining may all be the most efficient option.

    Let us know what you want to do.

    If the algae is dead, you get rid of the cloudy water by filtering it out. But with an Intex the filter may take a long time to filter it. I expect in your part of the country, the water you propose to replace may cost as much, if not more, that the test kits.
