Just an update.... I drained the pool and refilled it using a different water source. The water is fine this time. I think that the problem originally was that it was filled with well water. The water had a lot of minerals and iron. When I shocked it, the chlorine oxidized the mineral...

Ok, the pool is actually starting to clear up. Its nowhere near perfect, but i can kinda make out the bottom. I just got cyanuric acid today and added one pound. I also cleaned the filter. Again, it had a LOT of rust colored stuff on it. Should I add more metal treatment? I'm going to...
