After shocking the pool and losing less than 1 ppm in an overnight period, how long does it typically take for the cloudiness to clear up? I have lost less than 1 ppm in an overnight, yet the water still is a bit cloudy and my CC is still at 2.0. Thank you, in advance, for your help.

With CC > 0.5 and cloudy water you have to continue the shock process even though you passed the OCLT once.
A sand filter is the least efficient to clear the cloudy water (although the easiest to clean). It can take several days to clear up, but you should notice progress. Adding a little DE to the filter toward the end of the process can help clear the water.

Pool store. Maybe home depot / Lowes. Not sure about Walmart.

I saw cartons at Lowe's today for half price. Probably last years stuff, but I'm sure it would work just fine.
DE is a few million years old already. One more year won't make it go bad.mpacheco72 said:
You want pool DE, not gardener's DE.
When buying DE, my local pool store is less expensive than HD or Lowes... it pays to know the local shops prices, as well as the big boxes. Leslie's always has the highest prices that I see.
