Good deal. And, keep your pump going 24/7 while you are trying to clear the pool. The chlorine will kill the algae but it is the filter that will remove it from the pool.

Last night: FC 15 and CC 0.5. This morning: FC 10 CC 0. It did rain a little last night so I don't know if that would affect the results. It wasn't a heavy rain, just a light drizzle for a few mins.
Did you run your pump for awhile before you tested to make sure the rain water was mixed in and you were not just testing the top layer --- rain water? I'd go ahead and keep the chlorine high again today since you showed a drop of 5ppm and also, keep running the pump.
Persistent cloudy water can indicate filter failure. If you have a sand filter, do the DE test -- http://pool9.net/de-test/.
If you have a DE filter, open it, clean it out, check it, and restart it.
If you have a cartridge filter . . . you probably need new cartridges, made by Filbur or Unicel (they also make most of the OEM cartridges). Tell us the make/model of your filter so we can find one for you. (DO NOT GET AN ASIAN MADE cartridge, like what's sold by most pool stores!!)
