This is our 2nd yr with our Intex pool. No trouble with chemicals last year. But opening this year I'm dealing with cloudy water after 2 days. Came here for help and guidance.

Cloudy water upon opening? Or cloudy water after two days?
Cloudy how, like green or yellow algae? Or something else?
If it's an algal bloom the default response is to shock it for a few days while brushing the edges free of algae and guck and running the pump and filter continuously. Use Poolmath to determine how much bleach to add. If it's some other kind of cloudiness then you should run a full chemistry test and post the results here so we can try to figure out what is out of whack.

Cloudy generally indicates the onset of algae which would require the SLAM Process. Can you post a full set of water test results?

Hi, welcome to TFP! Could you post a complete set of test results? What did you use the chlorinate the pool last year? Did you take down the pool or leave it up over the winter?
