Debra:

With CC of 27 (Assuming that is correct) you have a ton of algae in the pool. This is most likely why the filter is clogging so quickly and the pool is so cloudy. Seems like it is SLAM time but lets let other folks weigh in as well.

I'm having a hard time with your FC and CC numbers. Is the CC number supposed to be TC (Total Chlorine)? If so, it is a sign that you still have organics in the water. How are you testing it? You need to have a good DIY kit (See my signature below).

Also, if your CYA level is to be believed, it is too high for a non-SWG system (high even for a SWG). If your FC level is accurate, it is also too low for an effective SLAM at CYA=90. Consider doing a partial drain/refill to lower your CYA. Then SLAM the water. But as I mentioned above, you need a recommended test kit.
