My pool has been crystal clear since we finished it a month ago. Yesterday they moved dirt around it, and it was super windy. It blew tons of dirt into the pool. I immediately started brushing and vacuuming. I have continually gotten the dirt off the sides and bottom, but the water is cloudy (see picture). This morning my results were:
PH 7.7
FC 10 (I had put a little extra in last night)
CC 0

Do I need to do anything else to get the water clear? It’s been so perfect so far and I hate it’s cloudy now.

Your test logs show the CYA as 50 about 9 days ago. If that's still true, you can keep the FC anywhere between 10 - 20 ppm with no problem. So yes, I would leave the FC at around 10-15 for the next day or so if possible while you and your filter do all you can to slowly get the dirt out of the water. Don't use any store products, just brush (or vacuum) and clean the filter as required to help get it out. It may take a few days but you'll get it.
