Mixed Calcium and Bicarb

I’m hoping I haven’t made a grave mistake. Local store told me to add 4lb calcium hardness, 4lb alkalinity increaser, 4lb stabilizer, and bag of salt. (Tropical storm did a number on my levels with hours of draining).

The pool is now so cloudy I can’t even see the bottom step at the shallow end of the pool for 24 hours now. I’ve learned through internet research, mixing bicarb and calcium is not ideal. I called them and they told me it would clear up in a couple days. I’ve seen no improvement in a 24 hour period. For reference I have an 8900 gallon pool.

Is this something I should be constantly cleaning the filter for? This would just be a complete waste of money on the stabilizer to clean this soon after adding the stabilizer.

Looking for suggestions on what to do and any concerns I should have. Thanks all.
 
No reason to run the pump more.
You need a proper test kit and stay out of pool stores.
