It’s a good idea to also add a preventative algaecide, such as Leslie’s Algae Control. If your pool water is still cloudy 24 hours after adding any needed chemicals and/or cleaning your filter, you can add a water clarifier like Leslie’s Ultra Bright Advanced or Leslie’s Clear Aid to help expedite the cleaning process.

How long does it take for a cloudy pool to clear? Depending on how cloudy your water is, it may take 2-3 days for your water to clear. If you’re using a clarifier, you’ll need to run your filter 24/7, keep your water chemistry balanced, and add the proper amount of water clarifier every other day until it’s clear.
