The cloudiness could simply be dead algae suspended in your water. Remember that the chlorine kills the algae, but the filter has to get it out of the water. Keep your pump on for the next couple of days and brush the pool daily, and see if that helps clear it up.

The CYa test is very subjective, it only really gives a close ballpark....the key to consistent results is to run your tests consistently every time...test in the same place, same light source at same intensity, etc. Then what YOUR interpretation of "dot just disappearing" is is what you do every time.

congrats on getting your water back under control again....
