Well it's a good thing you don't know what we did to your bed when Chris let us in the cabin.

In this hot weather (I assume you're having a "heat wave" too since you're quite close to me) you'll have a much harder time keeping it clear. It could be that and the pollen.

Algicide okay?

when in doubt drain some water and add fresh.. sometimes you can overdo it with chemicals, etc. and you end up with a volatile chemical soup that now becomes even more of an issue because you have too many chemicals in play.. of course make sure your filter is clean.. if it is a cartridge get some good filter cleaner from the pool store, follow the directions (usually soak it overnight then let it dry in the sun before replacing) and then after 24 hours start to go to work on the cloudy issue.. if it is another type of filter how long has the media been in there? if in doubt get a pool company to come check it out.. and pool stores always do free water samples and some are better than others but remember they are there to sell chemicals so a lot of them will just have you chasing your tail adding hundreds of dollars of chemicals..

i ran several commercial public use inground pools and part of my normal routine was to drain some water and add fresh every couple of days.. that kept the pool in check for the most part.. then the rest was depending on usage - chemical amount, shocking, etc.
