OK,
I think you are better off than you think you are.
FC/TC: Perfect for your CYA level--you should find it easy to keep FC over 10ppm with very little adding. Since you have the PS-234, you can run a high-CYA pool happily and safely.
pH--7.2 is low but....wait, wait, wait.
You Alk is high--150. Normally not a problem but your Cal is 400.
I think the two may be clouding your pool. So you want to use Ben's Alk Lowering.
Normally, you'd start with acid to lower pH to 7.0 to 7.2 but you are there already. So start with aeration.
Then you aerate to raise pH without raising alk.--a fountain, a gang of 11 year old boys, whatever.
When pH is up, add acid to bring it down to 7.0 to 7.2. Then aerate.
Repeat until your Alk is somewhere between 100 and 125--no higher--even 80 to 125 is fine. Make sure nothing adds more calcium.
I'm betting that by lowering TA with that high calcium, the pool will clear, especially if you keep pH in the lower end of the range.
From what you've described I think that's the most likely cause. The ONLY question mark I have is that it's usually numbers like 180-200 for alk and 500 for calcium that causes this.
Still, it's worth trying and is a close fit to your symptoms.
