Problems testing for PH

I have been keeping my chlorine at shock levels to clear out algae. Texting from a Taylor k2006 reading as follows

FC 24
Cc .4
Ph unsure
Alk 50
Cya 60

The algae is starting to clear up however it's cloudy. Since the CL was so high I couldn't accurately test the ph so I mixed half tap half pool water and the ph read 7.4

Can anyone advise me on how to accurately test? And what to do to to rid of the cloudy water?

Appreciate the help in advance
