How long does it take to clear cloudy pool water?
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.Nov 1, 2021

How long can you leave water in a pool without chemicals?
