    I know you are going crazy! I was there two years ago when I had a intex pool. You didn't mention if yours has the skimmer that hangs on the side. If it does, I would use a filter sock if you aren't already. Those intex pumps just take forever to clear the water. The pump never gave us any trouble as long as I was on top of my water. But once I got algae is was almost impossible to get it clear. Keep the pump on and clean or change the filter as often as you possibly can.

    ok-I did some reading and I put a nylon on the outside of my skimmer sleeve to filter through. It wouldn't fit nicely inside -so I thought I would try out first and see.

    ok-so I can see maybe 6 inches farther down and have a turqouise color. very pretty! I am just going to let the filter run for a few days and keep levels good and see if now with the nylon on if things filter through. I do have a very small pump-so maybe the days I was given is unrealistic. I will update when I have change!

    The best thing you can do is get that Chlorine into shock level and keep it there throughout the day.
