hello. i am new to this website but it seems to be helpful so far for others. i am a brand new pool owner as well and obvioulsly need an idiots guide. i have an intex above ground 18 x 48 that we just put up. we filled it with a garden hose from our well. the first couple of feet were crystal clear. i turned the water off so that we could take a shower and then turned it back on, left, and when we came back the water is a brown color. much like chocolate milk. you cant see the bottom. i am not sure if it is mud or iron. i am hoping that i will be able to clear it up because i would HATE to waste that much water, and time that it took to fill it. does anyone have any suggestions for me???? we have left the pump running overnight and put a shock treatment in as well. we also changed out the filter once already and it looked a little lighter today but not much at all. and when i used a test strip ( it only test free chlorine and ph) the reading was very high. it was an aqua chem test strip that came with a starter kit. any help would be appreciated....thank you brandy
