Hey guys,
Just got my pool set up for this year.. started to fill it and noticed I had a slight cut about a foot up from the bottom. When I noticed that, I let the water sit until I got a patch kit. Unfortunately I had to let it sit for about 3 weeks due to work and rain, so it had quite a bit of yuk in it.. I drained what I could and then filled it up.. finally today it has completes filling up. I have added 3 gallons of bleach (8% chlorine). It is a hazy green which I'm assuming is algae. I am running my pump (regular intex pump and filter) for 24 hours and cleaning the filter every 4 hours. How do I get rid and clean my pool.. i don't have the test kit y'all recommend and prolly won't be able to get it for a while since I'm very short funded. I have the Clorox test strip I used from last year (I kno).. what do y'all recommend to get this cleaned up. Thanks for any help
