Really confused on cause of haze

You are quite welcome! I learned everything by reading this forum! It has helped me over the years more times than I can count. You can maintain a ph of 7.2 and an alk of 100, I am not sure about a swg - because I don't have one. Maintaining a ph of 7.2 is ok if your ph tends to drift up - I would be leary about maintaining that low a ph if it tends to drift down. I maintain mine at 7.2, but using the bleach, it tends to rise on me. You should not have any problem with getting your chlorine up to 20 with a cya of 50 - your liner will be fine. You are right, the "stuff" was something that was not completely dead, and was staying in the water. As it was getting killed off, it was then able to be filtered out, or fall to the floor to be vacuumed out. Just remember, keep ahead of your water, you will get to know your own pool and be able to tell when you need to add your chlorine, and at what level. It is very freeing to take control of your own pool - knowledge is power! Welcome to the forum, sharing your experience with others is how you give back to this forum.

I ordered refills on 7/11, they were sent out the very next day and I received them on 7/17

I guess I'll let you order them next time, I'm still waiting.
