my pool looks like a swamp

[Davefuch111]

I filled pool from well water and tested water with the liquid dye kit.

The pool is a 16' round, Intex vinyl lining, 6000 gal. The pump is the cartridge filter type. Just the paper filter type. The pool sat for about two days before putting in chlorine and installing pump. Added the 1" chlorine tabs you get at kmart and the out in the shock treatment.

Now it's mustard color.

Is it hard to drain and refill?

If it's not, it would be easier to drain and refill and start over. It will be SLOW to clear it up with the Intex pump & filter.

BUT, if that's an option, do NOT run out and drain it right now. There are several things you'll need first. If you have kids, they CAN swim, as long as there is enough chlorine; just have the wear old swim suits. The iron is not harmful to people, but it's rather hard on clothes.
