Need help with cloudy water in brand new pool

[aylad]

You can do it that way....I usually add mine through the skimmer and just don't backwash for at least a week. Either way works.

Yeah that sounds easier. Just dump in the skimmer? How much? In one shot or a little over a few days.

Thanks again for all the help.

Finally performed 5 way test kit:

PH 7.7
CL over 5.0 is all I can tell for certain.
CYA 60
ALK Over 140 I guess. I got to 14 drops without it changing.
Hardness seems to be zero as far as I can tell.

What now?
