That's what I'm seeing. I'm sure theres a swamp under the mud, but dirt has a role in this too, methinks.
Getting a Late start.

Ok, exchanged a lot of water today. The CYA is now down to 50, so the SLAM level is at 20. It measured at 14.5 so I put two gallons in. It still looks cloudy. I'd drain the whole thing it if wasn't a vinyl liner.... I have the vacuum head and hose sucking water from the bottom of the pool, and I cleaned the filter. If this doesn't clear it up, I'm just going to have to do a OCLT and leave it cloudy. The grandkids come to visit soon, and they will need to cool off somehow. I'd say I exchanged 15-20% of the water.
It looks like this now...

Multiple drains lose efficiency as they lose new water with the old. If you do it again, go big. (But leave a foot in the shallow end to keep the liner from shifting).
Swimmer safety dictates you need to be clear enough to locate a disabled swimmer. It appears you are still too cloudy for that.
sorry guys,. I tried everything you all suggested, and after draining within a foot of the shallow side and it still looked the same, I had to use Flocculant
It just had too much dirt mixed in the water and would not clear up.
It's clear now and everything is in balance. It still is a bit cloudy, but at least it's swimmable.
