Ok. Doesn't look like you have any serious problems.
Do this:
#1 - Order a K2006 (Amazon link below) or other DPD-FAS kit (the others are MUCH more expensive) so you can test levels of chlorine above 5ppm accurately. (Dealer 'guess' strips are bad; consumer 'guess' strips are worse.
#2 - Purchase an inexpensive OTO / phenol red kit locally (you'll still use this even AFTER the K2006 arrives).
#3 - Order or purchase locally a vacuum head, pole and hose. You ALSO need a nylon brush, to brush algae spots when they occur.
#4 - Add 3 gallons of plain 6% household bleach daily, until the water is clear. If the OTO kit shows "orange" or "orange-yellow", skip that day's dose.
#5 - Continue to run your pump 24/7 till the water is clear.
#6 - Read the "Best Guess" page (linked below) and then, once you have the K2006, set your 'normal' chlorine level using the chart on that page AND your CYA (stabilizer) test results.
#7 - Let us know how it goes (and your first K2006 results). By the way, do NOT test CYA more than you need to (1x month, maybe?) since the K2006 only includes enough reagent for testing CYA a few times.
