here is where I am now. We flushed out the sand filter (took off top and stuck a water hose in it) and added a little sand(it was 9 inches from top, now it is 6). Vacuumed to waste using the method described with the end of the hose put into a 5 gallon bucket of water. This more gentle suction of water worked better about getting the fine particles of dead algae that was settling in middle of pool, rather than vacuuming with the pump. Added 3 more gallons of bleach. According to the strips the chlorine is high but the ph and alkalinity was low so I added a couple of cups of borax and baking soda. Water is much cleaner and mostly clear ( I can see easily to the bottom of pool but it seems ever so slightly cloudy). I still would like to add the de powder to see if it will help about filtering but I havent found any yet. Also havent got my Taylor k-2006 yet. Anything else I can do?
