Intex pool green/cloudy - help please!

[bruff30]

For some reason these Intex pools of this size are now coming with smaller pumps/filters. You can go onto intex pool site and buy parts. http://www.intexstore.com/. We are using our larger pump from previous model and bought new hose attachments and it seems to keep the pool cleaner. Not sure why they decided to go with smaller pump for these big pools. The larger pump is the 633 series, it really does work a lot better than the one that comes with the pool.

Do you have a testkit? You need to test your levels. Test your levels, then adjust your pH with some 20 MULE Team Borax. I wouldn't add too much. Add a little and check, maybe 1/4 of box or so then test. Should be between 7.2 and 7.8 It is best to add chlorine towards the evening so it doesn't burn off. Only use bleach and not anything else to get the chlorine up......I'm sure others will pipe in...
