Please help!!! I am two weeks before my daughter's 16th birthday Pool party and have been working on my pool for 3 weeks. It started out really green. I did the pool store stuff of clorine, drop out, algecide, etc. I have vaccumed, scrubbed and and almost $200 later I started the bleach regimine. I have put in gal after gal after gal of bleach. The pool is now blue but cloudy. I do have to admit that with the bleach I put in algecide which helped take the algae off the walls. I also added a bottle of pool store clarifier. I am very new at this so I will post what I know, please help me with the rest.

My pool is above ground 24' round. I am using a 1hp Hayward sand filter. I have backwashed and green came out only a little while, then milky/clear water. My current readings after adding 4 more gallons of bleach today are:


Clorine - off the scale the water in the tester actually turned orange. then I did the "shot glass" method and after one shot of distilled water mixed withone shot of pool water my chlorine is at 10

Alkalinity test shows 180
pH is 7.2
CYA 40

I don't know what to do.
