Bob,
I looked thru your posts and didn't see what kind of filter you have. Maybe I just missed it. The cloudiness could be like Watermom said, dead algae, but you said in one of the posts you had a bunch of leaves etc dumped in the pool. If you have a sand filter you could just have a bunch of particles too small to trap. Some of us have added a small bit of DE powder to our sand filters to catch the finer stuff. If you do have sand and want to try it, start by adding about 1/2 cup of DE slowly to the skimmer mixing it in a 5 gal pail of water first. After about 15-30 minutes check the pressure and add more DE until the pressure rises about 1 psi. Goal is with clean water you want to get a 1 psi rise in pressure. With a lot of crud in the pool keep a close eye on the pressure because it may rise rapidly and plug.
