Hello everyone! Been lurking and following advice here and doing the slam method. Purchased the recommended TF-Pro kit for my 14K above ground vinyl pool, cartridge filter. I cleaned out the filter about twice a day since 2 days ago, it was a very green pool. Followed the app recommendations and woke up to a blue pool, but cloudy/milky in color. Can't quite fully see to the bottom of the pool though. Today I've applied two more gallons of liquid chlorine 7.5% as recommended, heres my levels:

FC - 4.5
PH - 7.2
TA - 90
CH - 300
CYA - 30
Phosphate tested last week at 204ppm at leslies, haven't tested since.

FC was low due to leaving to work for 12 hours. Came home and brought the level back up (I think, barely applied but I did the amount suggested). Followed by a 2nd cartridge rinse of the green algae, except this time there wasn't very much on there.

What are my next steps to clearing the pool up? I tried 3oz of clarifier but figured it wouldn't work. Which I guess it didn't, applied 9am and its 9pm and no noticeable difference.

Just keep on? another day or two of exactly what I'm doing? Pump runs 24/7.

thank you again for the help everyone!
 
Welcome to the forum. Follow the SLAM Process. Maintain your SLAM level FC of 12 ppm.

Clarifier will just make it cloudy at this point. Rarely is that product of any help.
