Sounds like you have filter failure -- pretty typical on AG pools with sand filters.
Put your cartridge filter back in, and you'll probably be able to clean up in a few days.

OK I will give it a try. The reason I am trying because I never floc'ed the pool and I would not know how to vacuum it up.
How about the claifier? Is this something I should continue to add? I added 2 oz, 2 oz, the 4 oz an all different days.

Typically we don't recommend the use of clarifiers. Usually the more pool "stuff" you add, the harder it is to clear the pool.
Pool doc I read your post on the other thread. I do have a 2 speed pump and been using low at night and high during the day.
I have the cart and sand hooked in series. I put the cart back in like you suggested. The pressures are normal there. Typically the sand by itself starts at 12 psi. With the cart installed the sand is at 8psi. Lower flow? It will filter better I would think. If I run it with both filters on low the flow is too reduced IMO. So I am running on Hi now.
All #'s are still normal. Just cloudy.

Still cloudy.... Ho..Hum!!!!

Is your filter pressure rising? Can you test and get either a CC or a TC reading in addition to the FC reading?
What's your CH? your other numbers look good, but CH can be screwy with cloud issues.
Can you see your return water? does it look more/less cloudy than the pool?
I tested hardness with my hach hardness test. It has the powder you add one scope. It tests at 1 gpg or 17.1 ppm.
I will test CC when it comes down and I can see the results in the tube. Last time it was FC 1. then add r3 reagent and it read a 2. So that was TC 3, and CC 1? 2? But I have been shocking.
