Please see the images above. I have tried chlorine shocking with warmwater buckets of super chlorinated water. I have tried leaving the lid of the pool off for 2 days to allow for UV rays, I have put in water clarifier, ph negative, I have tried to vacuum it out but it simply just clouds up and then after few hours, settles again. The tests on the water read good for my test syrups, any advice on better tests happy to purchase whatever, but too new to know what to use. We have a semi hard water here in kent. The alkalinity does often veer on the higher side, but currently well within the limits.

Any advice greatly appreciated!

Please only post once it causes confusion. I answered your other thread.
I may not give you the answer you want to hear, but I will give an honest opinion of your situation as you decribe it.
