In a pool this size, each quart of 6% bleach will raise your chlorine level by about 1 ppm. A quart of 12% should raise it by about 2.5 ppm. Since your water is still cloudy, I'm going to suggest that you try and shock it up to 10 and try and hold it there. Test 2 or better yet, 3x a day and each time, add enough bleach to bring it back up to 10. Run your pump 24/7. Don't worry about your alk at this point. In a vinyl pool alk of 210 is not insanely high. Just worry at this time about clearing the water first. Is this a new fill? Have you ever added any cya? If it is not a new fill, what have you been using to chlorinate with?
EDIT -- Since you have two threads going about your pool's water problems, I merged them together. It makes it much easier to help if all the info is in one place.
