MY Intex pool is green and cloudy

No, the pump goes with the filter. You can't use an Intex pump with a standard type filter.. AND, I am NOT recommending that combo, especially not yet.

I would recommend the Unicel replacement filters; they will help now. BUT, you need to learn to operate your pool as is, before you complicate it with alternative systems. You CAN run a fairly clear pool with the OEM filter & pump you have. It's easier with the Unicel cartridges.

I understand
Readings
ph= 7.8
cya = 30
alkalinity test 20
chlorine test (25ml 0.2ppm) 20ppm (fc)
I can see the bottom it's still a little cloudy but I can see the bottom and I brushed it today not much on the bottom....

Is it ok to swim? do I put the chlorine drops back the skimmer?

Do I still need to add bleach until crystal clear?

My kids are 8 and 4 so they want to swim today 8-24-12. JUst didn't want them to get sick....

Thanks for all your help..... I am learning so thanks for being patient.

Low chlorine, not high chlorine, makes kids sick! Extremely high chlorine can be irritating, but won't make anyone sick.

Your pool is fine for swimming, but I'd have them wear old swimsuits. New ones might fade.

Regarding bleach, high chlorine will kill algae but will not make your pool crystal clear: filtration does that.
