is there a household remedy to bring up the alkalinity?
Yes. You can use baking soda to raise alk. Add a little at a time slowly to the skimmer while the pump is running. After a few hours, retest and redose until you get it where you want it; somewhere between 80-120 is ok. Sneak up on the number instead of dumping in too much at once and overshooting your target. You're already at 60, so go slow with additions.

and the best news of all!!!!!!!! the pool is getting clearer and clearer by the day
See? We told you this would work!

Good job, Mike. Keep up the diligence and you're soon gonna be swimming in that clear pool!
