Hang on to those. You will still find occasion to use them: Long weekends or week-long vacations or times when you are not there to monitor your pool. Just store them somewhere relatively cool and dark, and they should last. I have a bucket that is on its fourth season.

As for your cloudiness, it ususally takes a few days or even a week after a heavy battle with algae to be crystal clear. Keep the filter going 24/7 and make sure you backwash when the pressure goes up. If you use clarifier, run the pump for a couple of hours after adding it, then turn off for 12 hours to let everything settle. Then you may need to vacuum the stuff up that settled. Make sure you use enough clarifier, but don't double-dose.

Stick to the advice you get here. These guys really know their stuff. Thanks to these guys, I've been running a clear pool for 5 years now.

Good luck,
Andy
