hope your pool is clearing up- the more you test and maintain the chlorine levels as suggested, the faster it will clear. Keep the filter running 24/7, and keep adding pH down (or muriatic acid) til you get the pH below the 8.4- you can test it an hour after adding also, and add more... I wouldn't adjust any lower, just low enough to read less than 8.4, until the algae/cloud issue is resolved, but wouldn't leave it that high either
