Answer:

We have used FerriTabs successfully in pools that looked like yours. I would buy an extra couple of the filter inserts and switch them out about every 12 hours. Rinse/clean the dirty ones until the water is clear and then put a brand new one in. It may take a little while, your pool is pretty brown, but the ferritabs should help it clump together so the filter can clean it out.
