How do I clean a cloudy pool?

Question

I have 13ft. x 6.5ft above ground pool it had gone green and I super shocked it clarified it and it cleaned up but it was still milky color so I took some pool water to the pool store and they had me buy some pool chem. but my freak'n pool is still milky. I've tested the water with testers (not the strips) and levels seem to be fine. Somebody PLEASE HELP me to clear this water up or should I just dump?

You need to make sure your filter is clean by either backwashing it if it is a sand filter or if it is a cartridge filter, taking the cartiedge out and hosing it off.  Do this once or twice a day and it should clear up pretty quickly.  The filter will clear up all those particles but you need to make sure the filter can pull more out by cleaning it.
