The low pH will cause cloudiness in the water. You can add borax from grocery store or you can buy pH Up but I would not worry about the floc.

a lot of cloudiness??
I think you have gotten sound advice in this thread. You need to shock your pool up to about 15 and try and hold it there as Carl advised above. You also need add some Borax to bring your ph up above 7.0. I also don't understand how you had a stabilizer reading of 30-50 a couple of days ago and now you have none. That doesn't change that fast. At any rate, keep shocking and try not to let your cl level come down. Test several times a day and each time add enough bleach to bring it back up to shock level. Run your pump 24/7.
I had used two different tests and I now added stabalizer. The chlorine has been up for two weeks at 10plus. I will go tonight and get some ph plus and cross my fingers! How long does it usually take to clear? and really can it get that cloudy from just ph? I can't see a foot down
Thanks
