We live in Central Georgia, and have a Summer Escapes 14' x 42" frame set pool with an Intex salt system chlorine generator. The small pump that came with the pool crapped out on us, so I ordered the Intex Krystal Clear Sand Pump.
When the pump first went out last weekend I drained the pool and cleaned it completely. Probably shouldn't have filled it back up until the pump arrived, but we had company over and filled it back up so the kids could swim.
I haven't added any salt to the water, but it has stayed fairly clean until today. This morning when I went out to check it, the whole pool is green. I can't even see the bottom of the ladder.
The new pump should arrive in the next couple days. My question is....should I go ahead and add the salt to the water so it will be ready when the pump gets here, or should the pool be drained again and start back over?
Thanks,
