I had high alkalinity and low ph. I used muric acid and borax to help balance and the pool finally got clear. A couple of weeks later the pool suddenly became cloudy again, so I added the acid again and I guess I added too much. When testing the water turned red as soon as I put in the alkalinity indicator. I've added borax to raise ph and bleach. The alkalinity is now about 30-40. Ph is below 6.8 and chlorine is 3.

Will the water be cloudy because of low alkalinity and/or PH or is it another problem?

You need to post your cya... It's possible your fc is too low. Please post complete test results so people here can help you more effectively. Thanks

pH below 6.8 is one if the only "Hurry Fast! Fix it now! Issues we see. So...
Get some Borax in there ASAP! I can't really answer about the cloud, acidic water is often clear. But...pH below 6.8 can be way below 6.8 and must be corrected.
