Cloudy water - because of Jack's Magic #2?

No, winter cover has been off over a month. No other cover.
Yesterday Evening:
FC: 7.4
CC: 1.8
This Morning:
FC: 6.4
CC: 3.4
PH: 7.5
This Evening:
FC: 0.6
CC: 0.4
PH: 7.0
TA: still 70, hasn't changed
SWG is at 80% and filter has been running since 6AM. I don't get it. ** I added 2 gallons liquid chlorine yesterday evening.
Where's your CYA at. If you don't have enough the UV will drink all your chlorine. Overnight you didn't lose much but during the day it disappeared.
Has been stable at 70, no dilution since last test. So I didn’t test again yesterday or today. I will do a full panel this weekend.
Im more concerned with the ph dropping. I’m still hopeful the chlorine will continue to work itself out.

As long as TA is 70, and you are adding no acidic product and the pool is not covered, the pH cannot fall below 7.
Just updating incase someone might find this timeline helpful in the future. The day the water truck was supposed to come, water started testing closer to normal, and looking great.
Results last night (after pool party):
FC: 4.6
CC: 0
PH: 7.4... still doesn't seem to want to go up on its own.
TA: 80
CYA: 70
CH: 420

Knowing ahead of time you're having a pool party you should have added liquid FC before the party so the FC doesn't fall below target which is 5-10 on 70 CYA. I'd recommend you stay on the hot side of target for the next week to be sure nothing catches your water.
