I'm at a loss of whats going on and not sure what to do.

So I installed the pool in the beginning of July.
I struggled a bit at the beginning with iron, but I got that cleared up with some metal magic.

I have bought a pump to use with a vacuum and also aerate. I purchased a tf-100 test kit, paid for the app, and spent a lot of time on TFP, and I still can't figure out what is going on.

Since day one I have changed the filters out almost daily and every time they look like (see pic). I wash them off, let them dry, and then rotate them back in.

I have used Pro team metal magic and Iron myte a couple of times since the original usage, and that seemed to help.
I have added muratic acid and liquid bleach many times.

My hardness is around 300.
My water is somewhat foggy, but I can see the bottom, and is a shade of green but the filters are brownish.
I sometimes "think" I can see cloudiness colors of brownish. After I was in the pool stirring things up the water seemed to be more cloudy.

Does Iron come back even after I used metal magic?
Why is my pool a shade of green but the filter is brownish?
What PH level does my it look like to you? To me the colors don't match any on the scale, but look to be closest to 7.6-7.8 range. I have tested my water at my work and its always around the 7.8.
Could me spraying the filter down with my hose be the cause of why my filters are always so brownish?

Please help and thank you

What led you to think it was iron?
According to your logs, you've been traveling with low to very low FC for a long time. You've got algae. And it is the dead that you see in your filter (no picture was attached).
Read up on doing an OCLT to verify this, and read and likely do a full on SLAM. Stock up on liquid Cl, you'll need it. It will take a while.

Your TA was very high, and with all the acid adds is slowly coming down. But deal with the algae first.

I thought it was iron do to the color of the filter.
