I came back after being out of town for several days and found that my chemistry was way off:
CL = 0
pH = 7.0
TA = 60
CH = 150
CYA = 20
I made the mistake of trying to adjust everything at once by adding 1.5 gallons of liquid chlorine and about 3 pounds of Clorox pH Up. This is for a 15,000 gallon in-ground pool.
The pool became very cloudy and it hasn't cleared up after 3 days:
After those actions, the chemistry is now:
CL = 1
pH = 7.6
TA = 80
CH = 175
CYA = 40
Besides waiting this out, is there anything else I can do to get it cleared up faster?

The pool became very cloudy and it hasn't cleared up after 3 days:
- 1st day = added the 1.5 gallons CL and 3 pounds pH Up
- 2nd day = shocked with 2 bags of shock
- 3rd day = cleaned filter cartridges (they were caked with a milky/powder substance that was still coming off after 5 minutes of spraying them down). I ran the filter overnight after the clean.
After those actions, the chemistry is now:
CL = 1
pH = 7.6
TA = 80
CH = 175
