A cloudy pool can be cleared quite quickly. ‘It usually takes between two to three days to clear a cloudy pool,’ advises Corey Coughenour, director of operations, Anthony & Sylvan Pools.
‘However, it depends on the cause of the cloudy water. It is recommended to check both the pump and filter, allowing them to run for at least eight hours a day during swimming season. Additionally, regularly using a clarifier can help offset environmental factors that contribute to cloudy water, such as the presence of organic materials in the pool.'
