Crystol,

If you can smell chlorine, you need more chlorine. That's not a typo. Test your water CAREFULLY, get an FAS-DPD kit that will test for CC. If your unable, take it to a pool store that will use that test....not strips.

If you have CC of .5 or greater, you need to bring your Cl up to 15-17 range and KEEP IT THERE 'til your water clears. Probably will only take 24-48 hours but you should lose the Chlorine smell and your water should clear.

Run your pump 24/7 and backwash if your pressure rises say 6-8lbs.
