how do you get rid of cloudy pool water?
Answers:
Simple as 1,2,3.
1. Circulation- run the pump continuously until the water finally clears. Aim the return eyeballs "down".
2. Keep the filter cleaned/backwashed. If a sand filter consider changing the sand.
3. Check and adjust chemicals. Make sure everything is in range. You might have to add a bit of clarifier to help the process.

do a water test for the ph count and do what it tells you to
My mother uses 2 gallons of bleach from the dollar store a couple of times a week or if its starting to get green or cloudy.
shock treatment
1- (average size pool) - vacuum the pool, brush down the walls, and clean the filter if it's a DE filter, or backwash if it's sand.
2- make sure the ph is at 7.2 (or close, 7 is good also)
3- dump in about 8 gallons of liquid chlorine
4- run the pump until the pool is clear
5- if that doesn't help, take a sample to a pool place to get the TDS (total dissolved solids) checked. They will tell you if it's too high for the chemicals to work in the pool, in which case you have to drain it.
