    What filter do you have? If you have the little cartridge filter, It will take a LONG time to get the water clear.
    Intex 15ftx4ft 4500 gal. 3/4 HP Pentair WhisperFlo pump. Hayward 21" sand filter. Taylor K-2006 & K-1106 kits. PF=27

    I have a drops test kit and yes we have the small filter with cartridge that comes with the pool. :/

    It's really hard to clean up an Intex swamp, with the cartridge filter.

    I'd recommend preparing to patch the liner (read http://pool9.net/liner-patch/, THEN draining and refilling. If the seam rips, or needs a better repair, you'll be ready. Usually, you can patch liners better with the pool drained, anyhow.

    Good luck!
