Good day all. I'm a new pool kit and chlorine bleach this summer and all has gone well until this past week. My pool was clear last Saturday and we had a gathering of friends that included about 10 kids. I noted on Monday the pool might be a little cloudy so I dumped in some extra bleach. Tuesday it was definitely cloudy so I shocked the pool clear to a free chlorine reading of 17. It got a little worse, then better by Thursday, but no improvement since. It is definitely cloudy, cloudy, cloudy and is probably algae since I have some green accumulating on my steps.

Here's my test kit results Saturday before the party and before cloudiness:

FC: 5
CC: 0
TC: 5
pH: 6.8
Alk: 50
Cal: 130
Cya: 90
Temp: 83F

Here's my test kit results last evening:

FC: 15
CC: 0
TC: 15
pH: 7.0
Alk: 60
Cal: 130
Cya: 90
Temp: 85F

Why am I still cloudy? I know I got the FC to 17 on Tues/Wed. What should I do next?

Tx for your help.
