Just want to make sure that a high chlorine level as long as ph is fine is okay for my 5 year old to swim in??
Safe, yes.

Comfortable and non-irritating?

I'm not sure. You haven't ever reported your stabilizer level. If the CYA=0ppm, 10ppm FC could be pretty irritating to skin and eyes. If CYA>30ppm it should be fine. Read the "Best Guess" page linked in my signature.

Anyone got any more guesses about what is needed other than maybe more bleach and filtering to get my light green water clear water, closer to pretty blue clear water??
You need to stop asking this question. In the pool biz, that question is heard as, "Sell me something more!" If you ask it at the pool store, they will LOAD YOU UP with expensive and mostly useless chemicals.

The product you need is one we've called P.O.P., but you already have it available and won't have to go buy it. You just have to decide to use it.
