I haven't been able to go in the pool store, because they are closed for July 4th, and I can't go in and look because it's kept around the back of the store in a little alley way. Maybe I can sneak around there. ha ha!
My water is clear enough to see the return very easily. I can see all of the bottom of the pool now. It's not the milky cloudy anymore, but it's not clear. My water does not look brown at all, it's like it's the right color now, but not clear, but I'd no longer describe it as "cloudy" water. Sorry if that's confusing. The sock stain isn't a rich (warm tone) brown like coffee or chocolate and I wouldn't say it's like tin can rust either which I would describe as a warm color too. It's more of a cool tone dark brown. http://www.deviantart.com/art/He-wanted-socks-377368181 I searched for cool tone brown and found that image, it's more of that brown color. Funny that is was socks too. :P

I do not have a treatment system on my house.

The DE from yesterday morning is still in my filter and the pressure has only risen 1 PSI, the return has diminished just a bit, but not enough to need backwashing. The pool is getting better day by day, and I know I need patience. I've just never had this problem before. When we first set up the pool (years ago) we filled with pond water and it was clear within a week. I know that's nasty, but it was our only choice. I have the Walmart shock bags I mentioned earlier in my thread staring at me begging to be ripped open and thrown in the pool, but I am resisting, really I am.

Thanks again for your patience and help.
