Please Help with Turtle Water!

Hello,
thank you for viewing my post. I just received a 3 + year old red-eared slider turtle as an early Christmas present. Someone my friend knew she was getting rid of it and I had wanted one since I was a child.
She gave me the 10 gallon tank and the Tetra 10 gallon filter. For some reason, I cannot figure out a way to keep the water clear for more than a few days.
I take the turtle out, clean and scrub his tank thoroughly. I changed the filter, and I even bought a 20-gallon filter just to see if it helped. I used gallon jugs of water instead of trying to use my home water and add conditioner. But after cleaning the tank 5 times, it was getting to be expensive. So I bought Turtle Water Conditioner, and I also purchased a turtle dissolving thing that is supposed to help keep the water clean for the turtle also. But once again, Less Than 3 days after cleaning it, the water is once again murky and my turtle is hardly visible through it. I don't know what to do and I can't find anything online to help me with it. Any advice you have would be greatly appreciated what are conditioner
