This is the first year i had to open an above ground pool. I am seeing a cloudy substance on the bottom of my pool after pump has been off for a couple hours. I put vacuum in and my whole pool gets so cloudy i cant see second step of ladder and seeing blue slimy(simliar to downy) in my filter. Please help i had spent so much money trying to fix this and nothing works…all my chemical levels are good. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I did the pool open kit,and I was using the Clorox strips ( which now I know was a big mistake) because every time I checked it the app told me to add clarifier. I have added shock 2 bags like 4 times and pool store has had me add muriatic acid 3 times to now avail. I’m at my wits end with this. I am now using a liquid test kits. My pool is a Coleman swim vista series ll about 4500 gal. Hope added everything you ask for sorry I’m am all new to this
