Yes.. test the water to see what your baseline will be... really easy start...
The hose you need is called a backwash hose... Walmart has them.. just slide onto that fitting and put a clamp over it to reduce leakage.
Get more stabilizer too... 4lb should be fine with your size pool for now.. will get you to about 33 cya.. you have enuf bleach to get started.
Leave about 6-12 inches of water in the pool...Once the water is drained, do a good inspection of the liner to make sure there aren't any rips. Clean out the rest of the debris, scrub the inside of the liner.. try to get as fresh of a start as possible

Make sure to flatten any wrinkles in the liner if there are any

You shouldn't need to disassemble it at all... leaving a little in the bottom will keep some pressure on the liner so it doesn't crease or shift

So I guess at this point I should bother doing anything with the pool since I'm going to drain it right?

You can keep cleaning....make it easier once the water is down

I would keep slamming, it might start to clear, save you a lot of time and work, but it will also cost the chlorine expense so It is a gamble. Also I missed it you have already answered the question, but, will you be using well water to refill?
I dunno. How do I tell if I have well water or not?

Don't know. Which tests should I do?
Also, these hoses cost $35! Cheap?? I think not!

Never said cheap...
Do a full test...need to know all the levels for the water you are going to put in

So test CYA and everything?
Can I turn my pump off? It's been running nonstop for over a week.

I think I see the problem you bought a vacuum hose not a backwash hoes, I thought I saw a picture of a vacuum hose that you had, unless it was a picture from cj3737. I think you were looking for a backwash hose, I could be mistaken. If it is the backwash hose you need you could return the vacuum hose, Walmart is pretty good that way

I looked all around their pool supplies and it was the only hose they had. I guess I could return it, but then I wouldn't have a hose for backwash and I do need one, so I dunno...

Yep..50' rolled up flat hose...
You can stop the pump if you are set on draining
